Bentonite or Kaolin in M&P soap

[melstan775]

I tried two M&P bases this week, both crafter's choice ones, a clear one and a triple butter one. Even though they are low sweat, they still have that slightly sticky feeling and are kind of "bendy," which is one reason I'm slightly less crazy about M&P soaps. I was thinking adding something to harden and dry them up a bit, and clay came to mind. Anyone ever used clay additives in M&P, or have ideas for making it harder and/or less sticky?

I used Rose Clay in MP for a facial bar once but I had to cut back significantly as my bar shrunk in a week. Its definitely trial and error. My experience was less is more with clay in MP. Good luck!
