Brick City Soap

Brick City Soap is ChemUnity Project pioneered in the School of Chemistry and Materials Science at RIT. It comprises a group of students and faculty engaged in soap making as a hobby. Our goal is to showcase how chemistry plays a role in everyday life and in very useful ways. Soap is simply one example of chemists making stuff! Our group meets once or twice a month to learn about soap making, trial some of our recipes, and then decide as a group what we’d like to do with our successful products. Brick City Soap is also a great outlet for our ChemUnity project students to express their creativity, socialize, explore entrepreneurial endeavors, learn about environmental considerations in soap making, and much more!

Ingredients

All soaps made in the lab use the following ingredients: Olive oil, Coconut oil, Sodium Hydroxide, Water, Fragrance oil, Mica, and Titanium oxide (150 g)

Featured Brick

Despite this SPOOKY soap's design, you should never be afraid to wash your hands! A pre-made melt and pour soap using silicone molds helped to create the tombstone face. The orange, purple, and black swirl cold process soaps were made in lab. Once cut into bricks, the thin tombs were laid to rest on top. Happy Halloween!
