Homemade Soap Recipes : Soap
V
A traditional and blender soap
combination. The fats are expensive, but milk allows for about
12 bars, vs. only 6 bars of the same recipe without milk. Pretty
sneaky, huh?
Ingredients:
8 oz weight cocoa butter
5 oz weight palm oil
3 oz weight castor oil
2.2 oz weight lye (sodium hydroxide)
1 cup cold milk (I used 2% right from the frig)
1 cup water
1 tablespoon essential oil (I added 2 chamomile tea bags and
2 jasmine tea bags, dry)
Fats: 100 degree range
Lye/water/milk combination: 125 degree range
Dissolve the lye in the water.
Add all ingredients to the blender. Process about 30 seconds,
or until the mixture looks smooth and a uniform color. It will
not trace. Pour it into the molds (it won't separate, trust me)
Soap VI & VII
Ingredients:
16 oz lard or beef tallow
2.2 oz lye
3/4 cup water (6 fluid ounces)
Estimated tracing 45 minutes. Fat and lye/water temperature about
120 degrees F. Time in molds: 24 hours. Age: 3 weeks

48 hours. Place the soap in a freezer for 3 hours, then remove
it from the mold. |
