Because color is displayed differently on various devices, the soap you order could be different from what you’re viewing on your phone, laptop, or monitor. This is a common occurrence with online shopping; it has to do with display resolution, number of pixels and bit depth.
Ingredients:
Olive Oil, Distilled Water, Coconut Oil, Sodium Hydroxide (none remains in the final product), Palm Oil (Responsibly Sourced), Sun & Sand FO, Dead Sea Mud, Castor Oil, EDTA (Chelator to help with hard water), Silk (Cruelty-Free), & Micas
5% Super Fat
Super Fat: to use a small excess of ‘free’ fatty acids in a recipe that are deliberately NOT converted to soap. Instead, these tiny oil molecules remain within the soap matrix and are then transferred to your skin when washing. This is not to say that your skin will feel oily because only a minuscule percentage is used.

Featuring Dead Sea Mud from the mineral-rich waters of Israel, this spa soap was a fun one to create.
I initially wanted to call it “Dead Sea Mud” and aimed for colors that reflected the Dead Sea itself. I chose a blue and a lighter blue to represent ocean waves. To begin, I tilted the mold to one side and poured the main blue batter. Next, I added the blackish batter infused with mud, pouring it from a height to partially penetrate the blue. I topped it off with the lighter blue, almost white, soap batter to mimic the waves. After setting the mold flat, I used a hanger tool to create some swirls.
Sadly, this soap developed soda ash. Soda ash is a white, ashy film that forms on cold process soap when unsaponified lye reacts with carbon dioxide in the air.
While it’s harmless and safe to use, it isn’t the most visually appealing. Spritzing the soap with 90% rubbing

alcohol after pouring the batter can reduce the chance of soda ash forming, but it doesn’t always prevent it.

This was the first bar of soap I used and love the lather. There is something about this bar that leaves my skin not dry nor stiped of its oils. Highly recommend!
That’s because it has no detergents in it; thanks for you comment.
This soap cleans very well, has a clean feel after showering and this has great colors, one of my favorites.
Thanks, this was a fun soap to make by incorporating Dead Sea Mud in it.
