Peony Pink Clay Complexion Bar (Recipe)

Base idea: simple, elegant pink clay bar for face or body.

Ingredients:

• 500 g gentle shea butter or goat milk melt-and-pour base
• 1–1½ tsp French pink clay
• Up to 1 tsp sweet almond oil (optional, for extra richness)
• 5–8 g a floral essential oil blend, for example:
• 3 g geranium
• 2 g palmarosa
• 2 g lavender
• (Adjust to your preference, staying around 7–8 g total)

Steps:

1. Disperse the pink clay in 1–2 tsp of alcohol or a little melted soap until smooth.
2. Melt the base and stir in the clay mixture until you get an even soft pink.
3. Add sweet almond oil if using (just a small amount so the bar doesn’t get too soft).
4. Add essential oils and stir well.
5. Pour into simple rectangular or oval molds.

Let set; if you have a soap stamp, use it once the bars are firm but not fully hardened.
