Ah, okay, what you really want is a canned recipe with only olive oil and other grocery store oils, but you don't want to do the math. You want to trust that what someone here puts up is accurate and safe and that they made no typographical errors when they posted the recipe. I'm sorry; we cannot guarantee no errors are made on any public posting online nor even in a printed book. I have made typos myself, both here on SMF and in my soapmaking notebook (caught later, but they were still printed with the error at first) and I have found them in printed published books as well. No one is above the making a mistake when typing or writing something out. It just happens. That's why we strongly suggest learning to use a
lye calculator.
But, hey, if all you want is a canned recipe with only grocery store oils and you live in yosemite (I am from California and spent a lot of time there, so I know the surrounding area), it would help if you Identify what oils you currently have access to. I travel a lot and the oils in any given grocery store varies greatly from one place to the next, so what you currently have access to and what I currently have access to in my grocery stores may be drastically different.
This is what I can generally find in a well-stocked grocery store: Olive oil, coconut oil, castor oil (in the area with OTC health supplements & upset tummy type things), almond oil, walnut oil, sesame oil, corn oil, Crisco with palm, avocado oil, Spectrum palm shortening, safflower oil, canola oil, peanut oil, rice bran oil. But in smaller out-of-way grocery stores like in small towns or small neighborhoods, the selection is much much less diverse.
So what have you got available? You already mentioned Olive oil.
Or do you want it even easier? If so, how about this:
Have you made soap already? If you have an all vegetable oil recipe you use and are happy with already you don't have to change anything but add a little bit of pine tar. Do you have access to pine tar? Feed stores often carry pine tar in the area where they keep things for horses. For your purposes I'd suggest you use 10% of the oil weight of your current recipe in addition to what you already have in the recipe and add that to the oils. Mix the oils & then slowly stir in the lye solution. If you already make soap you know how to do that and don't need me to explain how to create a lye solution.
If you don't want to do that much math, I can give you an example, of how it's done.
Example of how to figure out 10% of oil weight:
Say your recipe calls for a total of 1000 grams of oil. 10% of 1000 grams is 0.1 x 1000. Or just remove one zero from 1000 and you have 10% of 1000. So 100 grams is 10% of 1000. If you have a calculator on your computer or tablet or phone, use it and you don't have to worry about 'doing the math'. The calculator will do it for you.
If you current recipe calls for 500 grams of oils, what is 10% of 500 grams? Following my example above, the answer is _______. (
answer: 50 grams)
How is your current recipe written out? Is it written out in grams or in ounces or in pounds or what? Just use the same formula and take 10% of that weight, and do what I said above.
Just add 10% of the oil weight that you already have of pine tar and don't change anything else.
I know the majority of the community will probably cringe at me telling you to just add 10% pine tar and change nothing else, but there you have it, a canned recipe and a minimal amount of math, almost cheating on the math, in fact.
But a caveat, if you don't already make soap, then buying already made pine tar soap might just be a better option. I suspect it's not cheap in the Yosemite area, though.
