I have been wanting to try my hand at a "natural" colored bar of soap. I have some clays on hand so I figured "why not?"
My vision was of a soft colored cream soap with some pretty pink mixed in...the "actual" was nothing like the dream - ha!
I used Bentonite Clay for the cream part, and now that I think about it, I should have used Kaolin Clay...but I did not want to go too white. For the rose part I used Rose Clay...and I am thinking that I may have used to much. To me it resembles more the color of red brick than the soft rose I was envisioning.
I was very happy with how the fragrance behaved. I used a dupe fragrance: "Pleasures"
It actually came out pretty nice, and sometimes dupes end up being very perfumy...but this one was soft. I think this will probably end up with my personal stash.
Thanks for checking out my blog!
Happy Soaping!

This is very pretty soap. It doesn´t look brick red in the pictures. More like a soft earthy pink.
ReplyDeleteSo pretty Roxana...the rose color is so vibrant and the swirl is so pretty! I really like clay in soap, it makes the lather so silky.
ReplyDeleteIt's beautiful,Roxana! Great colours and such a lovely swirl. I wouldn't keep it just for myself.
ReplyDeleteThe red is nice, not pinky, but more of a deep blush. It's a very pretty contrast to the cream colour.
ReplyDeleteNice soap, Roxana, so delicate!
ReplyDeleteYou always obtain beautiful swirls!
I think it's just gorgeous, Roxana! It looks like a deep rose color to me. The swirls are fantastic!
