Thanks Nicky,

I have this recipe too but have not tried it yet. I have tried 5 now and have about another 5 to go, although this one is further down the pile based on my newly aquired knowledge of the soap world and the lathering effects of various oils.

Actually that reminds me, I have a batch I made a few weeks ago that will be ready to try today.

The clay is used in face masks as a detoxifier as it absorbs toxins. It is not abrasive. You will see when you add it to your soap or just mix a bit in some water. It really is a good lubricant.

I'll let you know how I get on. Please feel free to post your results on this thread too if you like. Its good to have another soaper around.
