Coconut Milk adds creaminess and bubbles. Goat/ Cow Milk make a harder bar. However SF% is the main consideration in Soap Hardness.

Coconut milk is about 71% water Can of CM is 14 oz. 14 X .71 = 10 oz 96 oz oils x 31% water : oil = 29.76 oz water. 29.76 x 3 cans - 30 oz wt of water. Close enough!

Only scented the middle one, with a Coffee fo, which to many noses was a "Moca" smell. Next time might try to add Peppermint, aka Peppermint Patty. The other two batches did have a nice Fresh Ground coffee note, but has since evaporated. Thank you all for your kind comments :)

BB Lavender fo, Orange & Patchouli equal parts. Scent sticks.

Made a "Castile" last Sept using Coconut Milk as liquid. Hard bar, lather is mostly creamy with fewer smaller bubbles, great on the skin. Used soap calc as 92% Olive Oil, 8% Coconut Oil (provided by Coconut Milk).

Here it is on Amazon, sold out, and used ones are selling as much as a new one

That would be Luann right? Still a good amount to use in a batch, easy to use container to melt in.

Hello Mrs Larios, without getting into the dimensions of your mold (read the sticky on "calculating mold size"), your 2 lb mold will probably suffice. Maybe cut the water to 32%. Have some plastic cups handy for any possible leftover. Good recipe! Roy

It'll certainly be a hard bar, even with 8% SF. Lard instead of Palm sounds better (and cheaper) to me.

Stick with cold process. You'll end up with "soap on a stick". Roy

first check eBay and see what they are going for as is. Mark Twain's pipe would have been a lot more valuable if the seller hadn't removed the Pipe cleaner.

Freeze, then put the mold in a dish of hot water. The Lotion bars will be cold and the mold should expand with the hot water. Bars pop out more easily. I like using Lotion tubes. No fuss.
