Sorry I don't have any pictures of it cut, but After The FDA Changed Laws on Selling soap, I got very depressed and deleted a lot of my pictures of soap, I very much regret that decision.
Moving on..
Ingredients you will need :

LyeOkay Now First of all this is NOT an Introduction to soap making though I can give you links to great youtube sites to help you figure out the Basics of Soaping..
Soap Queen is great.. so Is Soaping 101.

40% Virgin Olive Oil
25% Coconut oil
20% Pig Tallow
10% Shea Butter
5 % Castor Oil
Water to Lye Ratio of 2.7 : 1 ratio of water to Lye

6.4 Ounces Pig Tallow
3.2 Ounces Shea Butter

I DO NOT recommend making soap without at least MINIMUM research on the subject, and with ANY recipe run it through a Soap Calculator Such as the one Here.

I miss your soap posts. It sounds like it smells great. Is the cost of everything and the amount of soap it makes cheaper than buying it? I'm just curious...
ReplyDeleteNo, I wish I could say it was, but it's not.. I mean if you buy in Super bulk, or render your own lard etc.. you could get it pretty cheap per loaf.. but for MINE it cost about 2.00 a bar to make. It IS much Healthier for your skin, it doesn't contain Surfactants that Cause Cancer, it isn't a Detergent which most "Beauty bars" On the market are.. this is Honest genuine soap, and it's even better that Dove, Which is one of the last PURE soaps on the market, and even that is getting corrupted which is sad.
ReplyDeleteWhy so much water? Seems like a lot. I normally use 8-11 oz in a 2.5 lb loaf. Learning...
ReplyDeleteThank you for this recipe will be making it soon.
