Among my friends and family, this soap is famous! Everybody loves it. It’s my ‘soleseife’ or ‘brine soap’, made with fresh salt water from the sea, coloured with uplifting, oceanic colours and scented with a beautiful essential oil blend.
I collect the seawater to make this soap from North Stradbroke Island, just off the coast of Brisbane, Australia. North Stradbroke Island is part of Quandamooka country, and its traditional name is Minjerribah. I respectfully acknowledge the Quandamooka people and their elders, past, present and emerging. This beautiful country is my favourite place in the world, and I’ve been visiting the Island since I was a child.

For the colours you will need titanium dioxide, blue and green micas (or whatever alternatives you prefer).
For the essential oil blend, I used (and it is divine!):
Bergamot, 24g
Patchouli, 8g
Peppermint, 8g
The essential oils in this soap recipe are calculated at 4% of the total soap recipe oil amount - 40g total.
