Small batch recipe

[Appalasia]

Hello, i was wondering if anyone had a half pound soap recipe using lard and other simple oils? Ex. Coconut oil, olive, castor. I want to try and make soap flowers so i did not want a big recipe. I couldnt figure out how to get a half pound on the soap calculator. Ty!!!!

Someone on this forum, the name escapes me right now, was kind enough to give me the following suggestion for recipe when I was starting.
50% lard
25% olive oil
20% coconut oil
5% castor oil.

Learn to use a lye/soap calculator and you can make whatever size batch you want

Primrose: Thank you for that. I now have a basic soap recipe good for 2 lbs of soap using very simple ingredients.

Found a lye calculator I have bookmarked for future reference. Tried a couple then found one that this cave man could do.
