First things first: soap is a rinse off product. As such, soap has contact with the skin for perhaps 30 seconds at a time, which means that the benefits of the many oils, butters, or infusions are fleeting. That said, it is still important to pay attention to the recipe formulation for a soap specifically designed for users with sensitive skin. Stay away from fragrance, pore clogging oils, common allergens, and complex protein strands in order to ensure the soap does not exacerbate a skin condition.
Also, we are using a heated milk technique to create this bar - watch the video to watch the explosions! Just kidding, no explosions.
You can find this soap at A Drop in the Ocean! Website below.

Soap & Clay is a family owned business operating in Washington State, but started out online thanks to Mrs. Soap & Clay's kickass brother and his amazing web design skills. The business was started as a tribute to Mrs. Soap & Clay's grandmother, the OG maker in the family that cultivated everyone's love for the DIY life. The studio/retail shop opened in 2017 on 6th Ave in Tacoma, and immediately began teaching soap, bath bomb, lotion, and scrub classes to the makers and maker enthusiasts of the PNW. In 2019, the pottery studio opened as well, making the soap shop a busy place full of artistic energy every minute of the day.
Mrs. Soap & Clay has been featured on Business Spotlight, New Day Northwest, and was awarded a coveted place on the South Sound's 40 under 40 list in 2019, an award given to the most influential business people under the age of 40 each year. She cried when she walked up to the podium to accept the award. A lot.
Drawing from her chemistry background and her maker spirit, Mrs. Soap & Clay infuses her favorite things into her soapy designs and creates products that are fun to see, use, and learn to make. Stick around for this ride - she'll take you on a great one.

Everyone else: YOU ABSOLUTELY MUST AT ALL COSTS freeze that milk to avoid scorching it. Mrs Soap & Clay: Meh, I don’t want to! Love it!❤️
I mean, if we can avoid a step! 😅😍🥰
I agree and appreciate the honesty about the benefits of soap!
Hey! I'm rewatching this old video in hopes of making this for a friend in need. Since I have no old beer and colloidal oat soap, would you maybe just recommend adding some beer and colloidal oats to this basic recipe maybe?
Hi lovely can you tell me what percentage Colloidal oats and Kaolin you use please? Thank you :)
Yes, that is a beautiful bar of soap! I'm just wondering, do you use as much kaolin clay in sensitive soap as you do in your other bars? Thanks
Very good question! I tend to actually cut the kaolin in half and replace the remainder with colloidal oatmeal.
@@MrsSoapAndClay Thanks very much for your reply. Have a great weekend!
Love this beautiful soap. Thought I’d find the recipe in the video info, but it’s not there... Where do I look for the recipe?
Hey! It’s in the video for this one - I mix up the way I deliver the information from video to video, and I talk this one out. It’s a 60/40 split liquid to solid oils; 40% babassu, 50% olive, 5% karanja, 5% hemp. 100% coconut milk substitution. This particular recipe is at a 5% SF with an extra 1% aloe inclusion. :)
@@MrsSoapAndClay Hi, do you mean oat milk?
@@MrsSoapAndClay i replace Karanja with pumpkin seed oil
Amazing 😉
I once made a melt and pour soap and was afraid to use it because it had all this oatmeal in it and I was afraid of what would happen to the drain in the shower while using it. I gave some to my parents and my dad said he liked it very much. He owned the sink he washed in and never said the oatmeal messed the drains up. However... I am still paranoid and still rent. Can you speak about how using food products in soaps affect the drains of showers?
Hey! Very good query - thanks! While too much of a good thing can be bad for drains, the small amount of food stuff used in soaps doesn’t tend to impact drains. In a formulation like this, the colloidal oatmeal actually becomes part of the lather and becomes part of the bubbly structure, essentially, so it rinses down the drain with the rest of the soapy stuff. Oatmeal, coffee, etc in soap and the impact on drains is a good subject to tackle on a larger scale, though - I will make sure to cover it in an FAQ soon! :)

It actually takes 20 seconds for our skin to absorb anything it comes into contact with, so homemade soaps with nourishing quality ingredients have a great effect and benefit.
Interesting. While skin of course absorbs products, no studies I’ve ever read states that it occurs in 20 seconds. As the skin is our protective layer against the world, that absorption rate would run contrary to the skin’s function. Regardless, making such claims about soap (though I do think the ingredients used to create soap matter) is against federal regulations in the US, so if you’re making such claims make sure to follow cosmetic and/or drug guidelines.
