When I have been at the East West  Bookshop in Mountain View, I have seen them selling moonstones.  But honestly, they are not as pretty as these cold process soaps from Brambleberry. If you are a cold process soapmaker, you too can make these beautiful layers Moonstone soaps. I really love the pastel layers and I hope you will try making these soaps like I will.

Patchouli & Bentonite Clay Soap

Have you ever tried to use clays or charcoal to color your cold process soap?  Here is a recipe from The Soap Queen called Patchouli and Bentonite Clay Soap.  This intermediate level soap recipe is scented with patchouli but also has a hint of lime. Patchouli is the defining scent of the blend but if you prefer you can add more lime and less patchouli.
