PEANUT OIL

[chlobue]

I was wondering if anyone has used this in their CP? From the single oil reviews it says it makes a very hard bar. I don't want to use 100% peanut oil but I would like to try it
If you have soaped with it -at what % did you use,
Any help will be appreciated.

TIA

I saved this recipe awhile ago, haven't tried it yet. Now that I think of it, maybe I'll get some peanut oil this weekend and make a batch.

Peanut Butter Soap


8oz shortening
4oz coconut oil
3oz peanut oil
2oz lye
3/4cup water
3 tablespoons peanut butter (creamy)
2 tablespoons cocoa powder (optional, makes Reece's soap)
Mix water and lye and set aside to cool. melt fats together and allow to cool. When lye is 95*-110* and fats are 120*-130* pour lye into fats and stir until it traces. Add peanut butter and cocoa powder and stiruntil well blended. You might even want to hold back an ounce of the peanut oil to mix the peanut butter and cocoa powder with to help mix it.

I think peanut oil has a very short shelf-life, & also, be very careful, giving it or selling it, because lots of people have severe peanut allergies.
