This weeks Pantry Soap Making show utilises a fun and very British ingredient – Marmite!
This natural yeast extract is packed with B vitamins and apparently even the mosquitoes hate it, so it may bring the added benefit of an insect repellent to your soap too 😉
I was initially nervous about making this soap. I worried that it might react in a strange way, but it actually behaved beautifully and gave a lovely mid tan colour to the soap. It had excellent hardness and lathered well. We did encounter a small amount of soda ash on the surface but that may have been our fault.
We hope you enjoy this weeks Pantry Soap Making Recipe and don’t forget to let us know if you love or loathe Marmite!
