all this soap and i have yet to study for finals :?
i have now made my own bars! the first ones i made of a combo of LARD, OO. fear too much lye. kinda too basic feeling for the skin. possibly good for cleaning up an oil spill with a nice lavendar/comet smell
failed attempt with 100% canola. that was a complete waste of time. maybe good for a some sort of salt scrub. comes out and doesn't really dry.
i will never use regular soap again. i washed off my shaving cream smell with this soap as i found it offending after using this bar. my favorite so far is a pacchouli scented soap made from pure lard. i added myrrh, jojoba, oatmeal, calendala flowers, trace amounts of sea salt, and sandlewood.
yesterday: (potentially some good soap)
7.2 oz olive oil
12 oz coconut
6 oz castor
4 oz lye
10 oz h2o
eyeballed:
sea salt
jojoba oil
oatmeal
jasmine (but the scent is long gone thanks to the basic quality of soap)
myrrh
the one a made today is:
11.4 oz olive oil
30.4 oz lard
7 oz coconut oil
4.9 oz castor oil
7.6 oz lye
22 oz h2o
chamomile
sandlewood (think too much)
oatmeal
calendala
cinammon
clove
used pauls salt/sugar technique, but accidentally added far too much (possibly more than double) just hope that it all hardens. thinking this might be a batch for acne
i cheat...
