To provide a new mineral-filled soap mild to a skin and feeding nutrition to the skin.

This mineral-filled soap comprises a soap substrate, a humic shale (humus shale) extract, a herbal medicine extract and ceramide. The herbal medicine extract is preferably a mixture of liquids containing the herbal medicine component extracted by dipping glycyrrhiza, a sophora root and a coix seed in an alcohol or butylene glycol for 2-3 weeks. The mineral-filled soap can be made by mixing a desired amount of the humic shale extract, the herbal medicine extract and ceramide with the heated, liquified soap substrate, casting the resulting mixture, standing it to cool and solidify, and decasting it. The mineral-filled soap can also be made by mixing a required amount of the humic shale extract with an emulsified reaction product that is produced by saponification of a heated vegetable oil with an aqueous caustic soda solution under enough agitation, casting the mixture into a mold, standing it to cool and solidify, and demolding it.
