ADDITIONS TO TRACE
- 1/4 cup dried lavender buds
- 35 g lavender essential oil
- 2 tsp.
- Brazilian purple clay
Why Brazilian purple clay? Brazilian Purple clay is known for its soft, soothing properties. It is perfect for sensitive skin and helps cleanse and exfoliate without stripping the skin of its natural oils. The clay also helps to detoxify the skin, absorb excess oil and improve overall texture, leaving your skin feeling soft and supple
When considering purchasing Brazilian Purple Clay, exercise caution, especially when purchasing from online marketplaces such as Amazon and Etsy. Many products are mislabeled and often consist of white kaolin clay mixed with mica to achieve a purple hue. This adulteration can cause the clay to not retain its purple color in soap or to turn an unexpected and undesirable shade. Always read the negative reviews before making a purchase to avoid disappointment.
A note about essential oils -When it comes to adding essential oils to your soap recipe, the amount you use can vary based on personal preference and the strength of the essential oil’s scent. However, a general guideline for soap making is to use about 0.5 to 1 ounce of essential oil per pound of soap.
