This super easy DIY soap bar combines the benefits of bentonite clay with activated charcoal in a quick melt & pour goat milk soap base. And it can easily be converted to a vegan friendly soap by switching to a plant based soap base.
Set up double boiler by filling a large pot with about an inch or two of water and bring to a low boil over medium/low heat. Place a large glass bowl over the top of the large pot so the bowl is resting above the pot.
Cut up the goat milk soap base into pieces and place inside of the glass bowl. Stir occasionally with a wooden spoon while it is melting.
Once the soap has melted completely, gently stir in the activated charcoal and the bentonite clay. Turn off the burner.
If using essential oils, add them to the melted soap.
Immediately and very carefully, ladle the liquid soap to soap molds. I use a soap bar mold that will make 4 oz bars. So this recipe makes 8 soap bars. (See below for recommended products.)
