With that said, let's get on this.

Vinolia Soap (Titanic soap) Recipe

Hello Lovelies, Taz here And I am gonna post some of my Personal Soap Recipes here..

Vinolia Soap is the same soap that they used on the Titanic, in the first class apartments, and it smells lovely and I LOVE it. It is easy to make,

  

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 :

Castor Oil

Coconut oil (76 Degree) 

Pig Tallow

Olive Oil

Shea Butter 

Rose Oil, or Rose Absolute Oil 

Lemon Oil

Titanium Dioxide

Lye


Okay 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.

So THIS is the Recipe for MY Vinolia Soap

From the Largest Percentage of oils to smallest

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

this is a 5% Super fat / discount

and the lye Concentration is 26,929% 

For MY Two pound soap recipe I used This

Again Highest to lowest oils followed by Lye etc..

12.8 Ounces Virgin Olive Oil 

8 Ounces Coconut Oil 

6.4 Ounces Pig Tallow

3.2 Ounces Shea Butter

1.6 Ounces Castor Oil

12.6 Ounces Water

4.48 Ounces Lye 

*At this point I should point out to every loaf of soap I make I add one Tbsp Pink Himalayan Sea salt, and 1 cotton ball size pinch of Tussah Silk*

.5 Ounce Lemon oil

.5 Ounce Rose / Rose Absolute 

and 1-2 Tsp Titanium Dioxide

The Qualities of this soap are

Hardness - 39

Cleansing -17 

Conditioning - 56 

Bubbly  - 21 

Creamy - 27 

Iodine (without salt) - 58 

INS - 151 

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.
