Hot process salt bar , should I do it ?

[welsh black]

I've made salt bars before , but never hot process. Reason is I want to put in some lovely EO,s that I have. anyone tried this? Also I have some Shea butter and I would like to add that as the super fat. Should I not do this or stick to CO as the SF

I've never done them HP. However, here's another post on the subject that may help.

I've done HP salt bars and I liked the way they turned out. I don't remember anything special about the process.

I also have done them HP. I increase the water a little and only use 35-50% salt. I would not use shea, butters are not very good in salt bars for some reason. My favorite recipe is 80% CO, 20% OO.

Ok. I'll stick to just CO then 80%. And another soft oil for the 20%

Thanks for that post. Very helpful. I'll use some heart moulds I have and a small batch so I can plop it in quickly.

I too have done HP salt bars. I'd say go for it.
