Melt soap base and lanolin together. Completely blend in all oils. If using more than one type of clay, separate soap into equal portions and blend one type into each portion, making sure to get all clumps. Pour into molds, allow to harden. If using more than one color of clay, pour first type into mold, allow to cool until slightly thicker but still liquid, then pour other type to fill.
