Soap Recipe - Salt Soap Bar.

Here is a soap recipe that I had been anxious to try out. This salt soap bar or 'spa soap' is a wonderfully creamy soap that gently removes dead skin cells and leaves your skin feeling soft and smooth.

For basic instructions on how to make homemade soap, read The Process page and then follow the directions below to make the Salt Soap Scrub.

Make the soap as usual following the directions on the Process Page.
Add the essential oils, orris root and titanium dioxide when the soap is at a light trace.
Once the essential oils are incorporated add the salt and the soap bits and blend well.
Pour the soap into the prepared soap mold and then put the soap to rest as usual. This soap should be cut when it has firmed up and can be handled. This was at about 12 hours for me. If left too long the soap will harden and you will not be able to cut it withuot it crumbling apart.
Congradulations, Your Done!
