- Brazilian purple clay
Why Purple Brazilian Clay? Brazilian purple clay is known for its soft and soothing properties. It's perfect for sensitive skin, helping to cleanse and exfoliate without stripping the skin of its natural oils. The clay also helps detoxify the skin, absorb excess oil and improve overall texture, leaving your skin feeling soft and smooth.
When considering purchasing Brazilian purple clay, exercise caution, especially when purchasing from online marketplaces such as Amazon and Etsy. Many products are falsely labeled and often consist of white kaolin clay mixed with mica to achieve a purple hue. This adulteration can result in the clay either not retaining the purple color in the soap or changing to an unexpected and undesirable shade. Always read negative reviews before making a purchase to avoid disappointment.
A note on essential oils -When it comes to adding essential oils to your soap recipe, the amount you use can vary based on personal preference and the strength of the essential oil scent. However, a general guideline for soap making is to use about 0.5 to 1 ounce of essential oil per pound of soap.
