Pumice Stone Cold Process Soap Recipe (smooth ‘Solvol’ style)

A wonderful cold process soap recipe that is gently abrasive and exfoliating, perfect for mechanics, gardeners or any situation where you need a bit more oomph in your soap! This recipe was modelled off the classic Australian brand 'Solvol' soap, which is no longer available.

Regarding collection of pumice stone from the beach
My understanding of the law in Queensland is that it is permitted to collect small amounts of material from public beaches (I do not remove shells though), however it is strictly prohibited to remove _any material whatsoever_ from a National Park anywhere in Australia. It was brought to my attention while editing this video that in some jurisdictions in Australia it is strictly prohibited to remove _any_ items from the natural environment in _any_ location (National Park or otherwise). In retrospect, I may not have collected the pumice stone from the beach this day, however I have been visiting this island since early childhood, it is a very special place for me (that feels like home), and I have to admit I did not think about it at the time. I will be more careful about this in future. I decided it was still worth sharing the video to demonstrate how pumice stone can be used in a soap recipe.
