COCONUT OIL, OLIVE OIL & SHEA BUTTER SOAP
8 oz (227 g) water
4.2 oz (119 g) caustic soda
10.5 oz (298 g) coconut oil
10.5 oz (298 g) olive oil
9 oz (255 g) shea butter
6 oz scent (optional)
1. Add caustic soda to the cold water to create a lye.
Use a meat thermometer to test the temperature. Lye is ready to use when it reaches 40C - 45C.
2. While the lye is cooling, heat up oils until they reach 40C – 45C / same temperature as the cooling lye.
3. Pour lye into the oil mixture and stir until thick, like mayonnaise. In need, use handheld blender or mixer to blend everything together, causing mixture to thicken to a trace.
4. Pour into silicone/teflon moulds. If using metal tins, grease lightly with olive oil.
5. Cover & leave undisturbed for 24 hours.
6. Remove from moulds & leave in a safe place to air dry for 4 to 6 weeks, under a cloth. The longer you leave the soap, the better the suds should be.
