Sea Salt in Bars

[cmzaha]

Your oils only add up to 95%. I also find salt bars exfoliating. I use very fine sea salt, anywhere between 75-100% of oils. Usually 100% Coconut. I use distilled water to dissolve the lye and add Coconut milk for the 2nd portion (I use a 2:2 ratio). If using a loaf mold I cut in 3-4 hours. Individual molds are much easier. I always add sugar and mulberry silk to my distilled water before I add the lye.

I corrected it.

Anyone from the N.UT area? I'd love to get some salt from the Great Salt Lake to put into some of our salts. Wonder if anyone has tried that.

Yes I made soap using the salt I harvested from the Bonneville Salt Flats. I collected the salt from the North side of the Freeway as I was traveling West to visit my son on the West Coast. I describe the making of the soap here. And below is a photo of the lather at 7 months.

What I can tell you is that this soap was quite different from salt soap I've made with table salt. The soap was very crumbly when I first cut it and the outer surfaces of the soap remained oddly crumbly. And the lather feels completely different from any other soap I have ever made.
