How to Mix your Clay

With the recipe what I did was prepare the French Green Clay 2 days before hand. In a container mix the 4 tsp of green clay with an essential oil. I used 2 oz Sweet Almond Oil. Mix with a stir stick and put in the fridge so the grains of the clay absorb with the oil. I continually took it out of the fridge and gave it a good stir. This makes sure that the grains of the clay are fully absorbed with the oil before mixing it into the soap. You don't want to have dry grains in your finished bars. Plus the oil seperates from the clay if left alone, just like oil and vinegar does if you don't shake it. Same thing.
