Hello.
I'm new here
I just regestered so that I could share this recipe I "invented" tonight. It smells so wonderful! I keep sticking my face in my scraped-out crock pot
I made a 16oz batch, so all my measures are ppo. (this was my 3rd batch ever, I'm so proud)
Here we go....
I do hot process in a crock pot. This is the first time I used sugar, salt, & borax, and I really liked the pouring/glopping consistency.
Calculated for 6% superfat
Oil base:
Shortening
coconut oil
Olive oil
Canola oil
Castor oil
Beeswax
Lye mix:
Calc said 5.3oz water & 2.17oz lye(NaOH), I used 6.5 oz CA pino noir* partly frozen
-add lye SLOWLY. it smells horrible, but once you add it to your oils that'll change.
Trace mix: (stuff I mixed in at lite trace)
1.5 oz warm wine +
1/2T white sugar +
1/2t plain salt (no iodine, idk if it matters) +
1/2T borax +
2t cocoa powder (dutch processed)
-stir to dissolve completely, I stirred after each addition. The wine will turn black
Melt oils on LOW
Once I added the lye mix it traced almost immediately.
So I was quick to pour in my "trace mix" & blast with my stick blender.
I cooked on LOW 15minutes, then stirred.
Cooked on LOW 15minutes, stirred.
Cooked on WARM 30minutes, tested (no zap, but I cooked addtl 15min on WARM)
This soap was very easy to "glop" into my pringles can & toilet tissue roll.
But I'm sure this recipe would turn out devine even if the salt/sugar/borax was omitted.
I hope someone else can enjoy this recipe PLEASE share ideas/suggestions of how I can adapt this yummy wine&chocolate into lotions & liquid soap!
Happy Soaping
