This batch will fill our Wooden Log Mould comfortably, and can be cut either in slices, or a wider slab, and then cut into halves to make the bars you see above. Very similar to the Black Amber & Lavender recipe, the only change is the quantities of Olive and Rice Bran Oil.
This recipe has some Titanium Dioxide to whiten the base to make it a more effective background for the Bentonite Clay Beads. We have used the Mint Green Beads in this recipe.

- 150g Olive Oil
