MAKING SOAP IS EASY
;-) If you know how ;-)
The following is my recipe for a 4 lb batch of soap.
Ingredients:
1 pound palm oil
1 pound coconut oil
2 pounds 100% pure olive oil (not
light, not virgin, not pomace)
24 ounces of liquid (water or herbal tea)
between 8.8 and 9.2 ounces of red devil
lye found in supermarkets
2 ounces essential or fragrance oil
plastic container to use for mixing the lye and water
plastic container large enough to hold the oils and lye
plastic mixing utensil
A strong shoe box lined with plastic would be
a good mold for a 4 lb batch.
Use the lye calculator at www.thesage.com
(look under services)
Use their basic soap making instructions.
(You can buy your oils from this company.)
I buy my fragrance and essential oils from members.tripod.com/~mintmeadow
This is a family owned and operated mint farm.
The food grade essential mint oils are strong
and wonderful and the family has just recently
introduced other essential and fragrance oils
at reasonable prices.
After the soap has traced and you pour
it into your mold, cover it with blankets
and keep it warm for 2 or 3 days.
Release from mold and cut into usable shapes
and let it sit with air circulation for about
3 weeks or more.
