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!

Featured Brick

RITchie really put his foot in it this time! This calico inspired brick soap was synthesized by Maya Rao. The scent is vanilla bean and the pattern matches the fur of a favorite feline. Super fun to make these creations. Consider joining our sessions this fall 2024!
