How to make a natural Rose clay, Argan & Coconut oil sea salt soap bar: Recipe, tutorial & advice

Salt bars are incredibly luxurious yet relatively easy to make. They give a beautiful, rich lather that is almost lotion like and the added sea salt is fantastic for gently exfoliating and brightening the skin.
Our salt bars are essentially cold process soaps but with two essential ingredients. Those two ingredients are Salt and coconut oil. Our salt bars are made with a 2:1 ratio of oils to salt. That means for every 100g of oil we use, we add in 50g of sea salt. In the presence of such a high level of salt, the only oil that will still create a lather is coconut oil, so this oil really cannot be substituted.
We use 90% coconut oil in our recipe, but you can use anywhere from 70% right up to 100%. To combat the drying feel of coconut oil, a high superfat amount of 20% is used. This ensures that the finished soap is mild, gentle and non-drying. Our salt bars are without doubt one of the most popular lines that we stock.
We create 8 different varieties of salt bars and the on we are showing you today is our "Rose Clay & Argan" bar. This is created with a generous amount of rose clay, 10% Argan oil and it is scented with the incredibly beautiful Rose Geranium essential oil.
Salt bars harden up incredibly quickly, so we recommend pouring them into individual cavity moulds. If you choose to use a loaf mould just be aware that your soap may well be ready to cut into bars anywhere from 2 hours after making. Do not leave it overnight or it will be too firm to cut nicely!

Thank you so much for sharing I have been meaning to do salt soap batch.. now I have no excuse... thanks again

[@sandfordshelley2723]

This was great I can't wait to try these

[@TheSussexHandmadeSoapCompany]

Thank you :-) They are one of our own favourite soaps to use :-)

[@claudiafonseca5810]

Hi yestarday I made the soap. I used Himalaya pink salt for the whole recipe. Im very happy the way they turn out. Thank you.

[@TheSussexHandmadeSoapCompany]

Wonderful! So nice to hear of your success and I hope you enjoy using the soap

[@ladypurple8464]

Im currently using the orange and oatmeal saltbar and i love it. The rose geranium salt bar i gave away as a gift. They have the creamiest lather and last longer than other soaps. I guess due to the salt and hardness of the soap.

[@TheSussexHandmadeSoapCompany]

Thank you so much for your lovely feedback :-) Yes the addition of the salt really does mean that they seem to go on forever!

[@maryurisrios8773]

Hello thank you for sharing. I love watching your video. But, I didn’t see the moment when you added sodium hydroxide (128grs) Could you let me know?. Please!

[@vanessasmallridge3895]

Great video they look beautiful. Could I use castor oil or olive oil instead?

[@maryward633]

Hi Anne, is it normal to see the water continue to evaporate out of the soap when left to cure? Lovely receipe I made the one with Goats milk & Oatmeal too. It did loss near the same amount of water. Thanks so much for sharing 😊

Love them. How long do you cure salt bars before using?

[@TheSussexHandmadeSoapCompany]

We cure them for a minimum of 6 weeks.

@@TheSussexHandmadeSoapCompany Thank you 😊

[@AngelaSands]

Hi there, there’s thanks for all your video’s! I made my fist loaf with your series of beginners soap videos. Is sea salt part of the base recipe or an additional extra when you send for assessment?

[@TheSussexHandmadeSoapCompany]

You are very welcome Angela :-) Congratulations on making your first loaf! With the salt bars we include the salt as part of the base recipe as it is present in all of our variations. This then allows for an extra ingredient in the "variations" section if needed!

[@AngelaSands]

@@TheSussexHandmadeSoapCompany thanks Anne for your reply, much appreciated. I’ve been searching for the answer for a while now. Again, great content…look forward to the next :)
