🌊 Making Soleseife - Seawater Soap (with simple drop swirl)

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.
