Today I made a smaller (for me) batch of soap. Approx 2500 grams and it just fitted into two loaf flexi molds.
One of my sons has Psoriasis ,a skin condition ,so naturally I wanted to do a soap tp try and help.
Tanya suggested Pawpaw so I reseached on that and sure enough Pawpaw, and banana skins .So I ate the bananas and blended the skins with precooked Pawpaw.
I decided that this soap would not be perumed.
The Pawpaw and banana mixture blended into a light brown.
I had decided to mix some oats in the blender with a little soap then place that in the bottom of two loaf molds for a scrubby bit.
I was finished and about to clean up when I saw the jug of Pawpaw and bananas all blended on the bench.
I poured it all back into the bowl and mixed it altogether then back into those loaf molds.
The oils in it are Macadamia Nut ,palm kernal and sunflower .Plus aloe Vera my garden. Usual mountain rain water and lye.
Being as their is no colour swirl thing happen I wasn't in the least tempted to peep. I just wrapped it in glad wrap and a blanket sitting on a bread board then in a garbage bag and put it outside in covered rea. Our temperature was a bit lower today with showers and grey sky mostly.
Right now it is 9pm and about 21 degrees outside so I had better bring it in.
I feel like a good mummy now to my 36 year old.
