- Today we are showing you how to make natural, cold process salt bar soaps scented with Lavender and Lemon essential oils and naturally coloured a pale purple using Purple Brazilian clay.
This recipe is an intermediate level project as salt bar soaps can throw up some challenges that you don't get with regular soaps (overheating and hardening too fast to name just a couple). If you are new to soap making, we recommend you get a few batches of regular soap under your belt before attempting this recipe!
That said, the actual ingredients used in this soap also make it quite an easy recipe once you get the hang of how the batter will react to the coconut oil and salt. This is because it has just two base oils, which is a heck of a lot easier to weigh out then the six different oils that we include in our regular soaps!
In this video we talk you through the ingredients used and why we use them and then explain and show you how to create the salt bars. We cover everything from prepping your ingredients right through to cutting the bars and we even show a "lather test" on the finished bars to show you the gorgeous, creamy lather that they create.
In order to create these beautiful salt bars at home, you will need a few key ingredients. The ingredients are listed both in the video itself and I will also paste them here for you. Please note that the coconut oil is essential when making a salt bar and cannot be substituted (it is the only oil that will still lather nicely in the presence of such a high amount of sea salt). The Argan oil can be substituted for another oil of your choice but if doing this, do run your new recipe through a soap calculator as the required lye amount may change slightly.
Here is the recipe that we created and feature in this video:
Sodium Hydroxide 128g
Water 256g
Coconut oil 810g
Argan Oil 90g
Fine Sea Salt (without added anti-caking ingredients) 450g
Purple Brazilian Clay 25g
Lemon (Distilled) Essential Oil 15g
Lavender Essential Oil 15g
Cedarwood Atlas Essential Oil 15g
Heather Flowers (Optional) 4g

Yay! You're back! So happy to have a new video. You inspired me to start making soap, and I have learned so much. Love from Texas.❤
It is so nice to hear that we inspired you, thank you 🙂 comments like yours really make me want to take the extra time and get up more videos! 😊
Nice to see your happy face again- all the best with your business!
Thank you 🙂 it is lovely to be back and I hope it isn't too long until I manage to get another video up!
Happy to see you again! Many thanks for getting a video out while your days are so busy! I always learn so much, thanks again
Thanks Anne, glad everything is humming along with the business. Lovely to see you again💖💖
Thank you, we are quite well organised this year so hopefully I will manage to get some more videos up soon!
Never heard of a soap bar, but so glad you showed me. Love your channel! Found you a few months ago and I like how you present your videos. Watched the art faire at the castle the other day and loved, loved, loved that. Such a beautiful setting - wish our events were in such pretty surroundings - ( I'm in the U.S ) You and your friend are fun to watch too. You're generous with your knowledge and you make lovely soap. And that blouse is pretty too! Hope y'all have an enjoyable and profitable year and look forward to watching all your videos ( I'm not a soapmaker but I like to watch ).
Thank you so much. Yes, the castle is such a beautiful setting - not all venues are that pretty though! It is so nice to hear you enjoy watching us, Wayne isn't a fan of being on screen but I am trying to coax him into appearing more 🤣 the blouse was a bit of an impulse purchase - we had 2 days of warm weather and I decided I needed a new summer top!
So happy I found your channel with full recipes, so useful, thank you
Ive missed seeing you! Glad to see you back. Sounds like your business is booming!
Nice to see you and congratulations on your business being so busy.

Happy to see you again!
Lush to see you back! Glad to hear you are super busy with the business. Loved the video 😃
Thank you 😊 it is good to be back! Not sure when the next video will be but hopefully not such a long time as it has been!
So happy to see you again 👏👏
Glad to see you! I have learned a lot from you! Thank you
Great to see you back. I don’t really make salt bars, but I feel the urge to have another go at them 😃 😍
Give them a go! They really are lovely once you get the hang of them 🙂
Great to see you again
Thank you 😊
Hello sweetheart, lovely to see you again. Learnt so much from your past videos and I still am working my way through all your. Ideos and creative Ideas, and trying some of the recipes. You helped me with my first salt bar and also the calendula soap. Both were awesome. Great to hear your business is busy, and you have plenty of projects to work towards. I may see you at. Christmas - Winchester is a beautiful city to visit. The fact that you are British, living in England and close to home, London, is an even greater gift - and easy access to your products. Keep it up, and await your new videos as and when you have time.
One question, have you put a filter on this video? Are the edges of the filming an intended blurry fuzziness or is it my eyes? Oh at lastly, I love that silicon mould you have. I bought mine from Soap-Kitchen based on the UK. 🔆🔅

We are very well, thank you! Being back today has made me remember how much I enjoy making the videos! Hopefully we can keep up with them. 🙂
You're brilliant. Such great tips. Just make sure we know which shows you will be going to so we can attend.
Thank you 😊 I will do my best to update on shows too! We already have a few booked for this year, including being at Winchester cathedral Christmas market for 30 days straight in November/December (the longest we have ever exhibited anywhere!)
@@TheSussexHandmadeSoapCompany that’s a huge commitment! Imagining the stock you have to prepare. We will attend and give you support. Our first markets will be Chichester and then Godalming in November. You’ve helped us so much with labelling and assessment advice, not to mention Christmas tree embeds!
Wonderful to see you again!
