Clay (kaolin) is used as an active ingredient in cosmetics because of the high level of adsorption of substances such as oil, toxins, and others. The use of clay also been considered as a potential tanning agent in halal industrial applications. This study aimed to search for the effect of temperature reaction and addition of kaolin to the solid soap produced. The saponification reactions was carried out for 10 minutes in a reaction flask at a temperature that varied from 50ºC - 80ºC. The beginning stage was to heat the coconut oil to the reaction temperature and then mixed it with kaolin (10%, 12.5%, 15%, 17.5%, 20% wt.), followed by adding 35% NaOH. The reaction mixture was stirred at 250 rpm. The results of this study showed that all soap products met the Indonesia standard SNI.
