My first CP soap

[theath2010]

This is my very first CP soap. It is a simple coconut, palm, and olive oil bar. This was so much fun to make I can't wait to start experimenting with color and scents.

I have never tried CP. Would you care to share your recipe/process, I have tried HP and all my soaps are really soft. :-(

Hey, nice bars. I take it from the photo setting and shape of the bars that you've done this before, just not CP.

Those are very nice, a classic bar. What do you have lined up for your next project?

For your first time those are very beautiful bars. Matter of fact, for an experienced soaper they are very beautiful Great job!

Lovely! Your soap looks gorgeous. Can't believe it's your first. My was a plain Jane Castile that the jury is still out on. Can't wait to see more from you!

Recipe

For this bar I used 16oz. Coconut oil, 21oz. Olive oil, and 14oz. Palm oil. I used BB lye calculator for 7.06 oz lye to 16.83oz. Distilled water. I cooled/heated my oil and lye mixtures to about 90 degrees the used the stick blender to stir. I went to what I believe to be a very light trace, my "drips" or lines were barely noticeable but there. After I poured this into my 5lb. mold I wrapped it for 24 hours with a bath towel.

I must say I am all about DIY things and I made my wooden molds myself from Lowe's project idea. I was able to make 2 5lb molds for 6$. Lowes even cut the wood for me and all I had to do was assemble it with screws. Very easy and a huge money saver.
