1/4 cup + 2Tbsp (1.5oz) SLSA Powder
2 Tbsp (1oz) Rose Kaolin Clay
1 1/2 Tbsp (0.84oz) Foam Boost (Cocamidopropyl Betaine)
2 tsp (0.30oz) Hydrolyzed Rice Protein
2 tsp (0.35oz) Argan Oil

4 Simply Earth Round Soap Molds
Soap Wraps
Labels
- 🏠 FROM YOUR HOME
2 Tbsp rice starch or corn starch
Face Mask*
Tape
Directions
- In a bowl, combine SCI Powder*, SLSA Powder*, Kaolin Clay, and cornstarch. Mix thoroughly until well blended.
- In a separate container, combine Foam Boost, Hydrolyzed Rice Protein, Argan Oil, Geogard ECT Preservative, and essential oils. Stir thoroughly.
- Add the wet mixture to the dry mixture and stir to combine into a uniform mixture. You may find it easier to use your hands to mix the ingredients together. Once the ingredients are combined, you should end up with a moldable consistency.
- Divide and firmly press the mixture into the silicone molds. Place the mold into the fridge and allow it to set for a couple of hours. Remove the shampoo bars from the mold and set it out to dry for a few days.
- Package the shampoo bars in the provided wraps, securing them with tape. Attach the labels.
- To use, wet your hair. Rub the bar between your hands to create a lather, then massage the lather into your scalp and hair. Rinse thoroughly. Store your shampoo bar in a soap dish with drainage to allow it to dry between uses.
Notes
- SLSA and SCI are powdered surfactants. Powdered surfactants are very lightweight and can easily become airborne, potentially irritating the lungs and causing sneezing or coughing. It’s best practice to wear a face mask while measuring powdered surfactants to avoid inhalation. These ingredients are unlikely to go airborne once they are combined with a liquid (step 3).
- If you are making our DIY Conditioner Kit recipe with Lavender and Tea Tree Essential Oils, you can scent these shampoo bars to match with 30 drops Lavender and 20 drops Tea Tree. Choose whatever scent you like best!
- Since this is a rinse off product, contraindications for the essential oils are unlikely to occur.
- If you find yourself with a crumbly mixture, keep mixing it! Eventually it should turn into a doughy consistency. If you’ve thoroughly mixed and it’s still crumbly, you can add a few drops of distilled water to help bring it together.

Essential Oil Handling Tips
Always Use Diluted Oils
Always dilute an essential oil before using it on the skin. When diluted properly, some essential oils are unlikely to cause skin irritation. However, if the oil has been oxidized (left with the cap off for long periods), it is more likely to cause skin irritation. Check out this dilution chart for properly diluting this essential oil.
Never Ingest Essential Oils
We don’t recommend ingesting essential oils unless directed by a doctor certified in aromatherapy. For more information on why we don’t ingest essential oils, check out this blog post.
Essential Oils Aren’t Safe For Everyone
When using essential oils around children, pregnant women, and pets, caution should be taken.
