Beginning Soap Recipes

Beginner recipes were created in Soapcalc using full water. Soaping with full water is ideal for those just learning to make soap. It will make your soap fluid longer and give plenty of time for the delicate swirls we all love!

Advanced Soap Recipes

These recipes have a 33% water discount. This will make it easier to unmold your soap more quickly but will speed up the trace of the soap.

Great quality

Such good quality clay evey time!

Wonderful addition to soaps

This clay adds a wonderful addition to soaps with a beautiful natural shade of green

French Green works for me

It's kind of like an army green, but a a shade or two brighter. I like the contrast between lighter colors and darker colors it provides.

French Green Clay

Nurture's natural colorants are an excellent quality. The clays are a gorgeous texture and maintain their color through the cure. Very pleased with all of the clays I have tried.

Beautiful color in CP

I love using natural colors in my soaps and the French green clay mixed well and ended up being the perfect color for my latest creation. I also love that it shipped in a jar as it is much easier to work with than the bags that most companies ship it in.

Natural look

I like this clay because it gave my soap a natural subtle color. I love it! Want to try them all!!!

French Green Clay

Perfect muted shade for the natural soaper. Purchased another French Green Clay from Amazon and it was bright green; didn’t look natural at all. I’m sticking with Nurture Soap.
