In my previous post all about the Purple Brazillian clay from Brambleberry, I mentioned my plan to make soap for my neighbors. This is it! I used a sunshiney, gender neutral fragrance. I used the YELLOW clay for this, and it turned out gorgeous. Both layers were colored with the yellow clay, but they are different soap bases. With the bottom layer I altered my usual process- I used tea instead of water to mix the lye. I made it strong, opaque. I don't have a control, so I don't know how much the color would have been different- safe to say it would probably be lighter & more goldeny without the tea- more like the top layer. This might be a really nice color though for a pumpkin pie scent- maybe with a touch of red mica to make it a touch more orange. I just made it last night, so they won't have it for a little bit yet. I don't think they read my twitter posts, so I'm not ruining the surprise (I hope). Here it is- clay enhanced soap for my fellow neighbors showering in slippery water!
