Eucalyptus with Rhassoul Clay, Dead Sea Salt and Shea Butter

The best cold process soaps should clean well, not dry the skin, and have a noticeable fragrance. Mostly importantly, there should be plenty of lather and big bubbles. This is most people’s complaint about homemade soap, and this recipe takes care of it! 
 
This recipe is wonderful for people with sensitive, dry skin. The avocado butter is perfect for soothing and hydrating while also being paired with sweet almond oil that serves to heal and replenish. The Rhassoul Clay used is the cherry on the cake - Rhassoul clay comes from the Atlas Mountains of Morocco and is known for its mineral-rich profile. It helps draw out impurities while delivering a silky, conditioning feel to the skin. It’s often used in hair care bars because of its ability to clarify the scalp while adding shine. In body soaps, it offers a luxurious feel and subtle earth-toned colour.
