About this color

Not every ingredient needs to steal the spotlight, and Kaolin Clay is proof. It won't give your soap a bold color, that's not its job, but it works quietly in the background to help fragrance cling to your bar long after curing, so that first sniff out of the box still smells just as good weeks later.

It also happens to be wonderful for lather. Fold it into a recipe and you'll notice a creamier, silkier bubble that feels genuinely pampering on skin.

Use Rate

CP Soap: 1-2 teaspoons per pound of oils.
MP Soap: ½ teaspoon per pound of soap base.

More or less can be added to achieve your desired color.

Use Notes

Kaolin clay is often used to anchor scent. To make a clay/scent slurry, simply add clay directly to the fragrance oil, then blend it very well.

Clay should be mixed with water before adding to cold process soap. Mixing well before adding to soap will help prevent clumps or streaks. Mix 1 part clay to 1 part water until fully saturated then add the mixture to your soap.

A note on clays and the FDA

Clays are widely used in soap and personal care, but they aren't an FDA-approved color additive. Because of that, FDA rules require us to list them as not approved for each use above. That doesn't mean clays are unsafe. It only means the FDA hasn't approved them as a colorant. See the FDA's list of approved color additives
