Making natural cold process Lime Mojito inspired soap coloured with green clay and spirulina powder

We are a small soap making business based in East Sussex, UK. There are only two of us, Anne and Wayne, and we specialise in creating all natural, palm oil free, vegan and vegetarian, cold process soap bars.

We have come to Youtube to shows people how we make our soaps and to hopefully inspire other budding soap makers too, whether you are a beginner just looking to learn about soap making or someone who has been making soap for years!

In this video we will be making and colouring soap with completely natural ingredients. We will be using the cold process method and using a Tiger stripe swirl to create our design. The soap will then be topped with some Lime embeds that were created by Anne using cold process soap. Both the main soap and the embeds are naturally coloured using French green clay and spirulina powder.

The soap is inspired by the Mojito cocktail and so we are using a refreshing blend of Lime and Mint essential oils and topping off our design with some sea salt.

Our soaps are all palm oil free and this one is vegan friendly too.

The ingredients we used for this soap are as follows:

Water 220g
Sodium Hydroxide (Lye) 109g
Olive Oil 340g
Coconut Oil 184g
Shea Butter 75g
Cocoa Butter 36g
Castor Oil 57g
Sweet Almond Oil 99g
Spirulina Powder 2g
French Green Clay Clay 5g
Lime (Distiliied) Essential Oil 20ml
Peppermint Essential Oil 5ml
