Natural colors for natural soap bars

There are different ways to make beautiful soap bars that avoid artificial substances commonly used in industrial cosmetics. Extracts of plants, chocolate powder, …. and clays. These are not only good natural choices for body care products but also have special properties. This means that by adding them to a natural soap, this soap is enriched in unique ways!

Their chemical and physical properties help in this process of enrichment. Clays attract water, absorbing part of the liquid during soapmaking (a challenge for the crafter!), which can help keep moisture. Their different combination of minerals creates their variable patterns.

Many people use natural, colorful clays as natural facial masks. It is a simple way to get the best from nature to the skin. Soap bars help cleanse and nourish the skin. In a soap recipe, the properties of base oils, essential oils, and additives (like clays) can be combined in special ways to create singular products!
