Salts are added to soap to provide gentle exfoliation and to disinfect the skin. Some beneficial minerals in the salt can be absorbed by the skin. Himalayan Salt has many more trace elements that other salts and a beautiful pink color, making it a wonderful salt to use for soap. Making a beautiful salt soap is a challenge since the batter is thick and full of grainy salt. But by reserving a small portion of the soap and not adding salt to it, you can make the most beautiful salt soaps in the world. I recommend using it with a wash cloth, shower gloves or similar bathing cloth. The salt stays in the cloth or glove and acts like a fine sandpaper polishing your skin. This wonderful soap is made with: Saponified Avocado, Organic Coconut Oil, Organic Olive Oil and Shea Butter, Jojoba oil, Castor Oil, Peppermint and Patchouli Essential oils and natural soap colorant. You must see this video of how it was made! :
