As with all my soaps, this is more than 50% olive oil. I always add coconut oil to harden the soap and help give it a bubbly lather. For the rest of this recipe, I used some grapeseed oil and some rice bran oil, both of which keeps the soap mild and conditioning. And I added some avocado oil, a skin loving oil, as mild and conditioning as olive oil.
The bottom layer is colored with a bit of yellow oxide and a touch of gold mica. After pouring the golden layer into the mold, I sprinkled red clay all over the top. This is what makes the darker line in the middle. Then I carefully poured the top layer, trying not to disturb the sprinkled clay. And then swirled a tiny bit of the golden soap along the top. The top layered is a natural light yellow beige from the orange and pachouli oils.
This soap was made, like all my soaps, using the cold process method. I used lye, just like grandma used to. But make no mistake, this is no harsh soap to only use for laundry! No siree! My soaps are MORE than mild enough to use on face and body!
