Megan's Sweet Honey Almond Soap Formulation (Recipe)

Submitted By:

Megan of Indianapolis, IN

Summary:

Family favorite! Sweet smelling soap with great lather (does not use Palm oil)

Ingredients:

1oz Beeswax
8.6oz Coconut Oil
3.2oz Olive Oil
19.2oz Soybean Oil
4.8oz Lye
9.6oz Water
1 tsp Salt
0.5oz Almond fragrance oil
0.5oz Honey fragrance oil

Instructions:

Mix water, salt, and lye. Let cool. Mix soybean oil, olive oil, coconut oil, and beeswax. Heat oils until they reach 100-110 degrees F. Wait until lye mixture cools to 90-95 degrees F. Slowly stir together oils and lye mixture. Stir and stir and stir! Add almond and honey fragrance oils. Stir! (If unable to reach trace, place mixture in microwave for one minute and 15 seconds.) Once you reach light trace, add coloring (I like the beeswax color naturally produced, so I don't color this particular batch). Stir and pour into mold. Cover mold.
In two days, release from mold and cut soap into slices (if applicapable). Let soap cure for at least 4-6 weeks. The longer cure time, the harder (longer lasting) your bar of soap will be!
