Adventures With The Sage

On October 1st, I showed the finished batch of Confetti Soap using shreds. Today, I’ll show you the finished batch of Confetti Soap using chunks. Collect needed supplies: Soap we made on October 1st, cut into chunks Hydrogenated Soybean Oil Coconut Oil Sweet Almond Oil Fragrance Oil of your choice (I’m going to be using Pears & Berries Fragrance Oil) Scale Recipe in ounces: 40 ounces weight Hydrogenated Soybean Oil 20 ounces weight Coconut Oil 20 ounces weight Sweet Almond Oil 30 fluid ounces water 11.1 ounces weight sodium hydroxide 1.4 ounces of Pears & Berries Fragrance Oil 24 ounces of soap chunks from soap made on Thursday. I used 8 ounces of each color. Weighing time: 8 minutes Adding lye to water: 5 seconds, followed by 60 seconds of stirring Heating of oils time: 2 minutes Pouring lye solution into the fat mixture: 5 seconds Using immersion blender to mix soap solution: 2 minutes Mix shreds or chunks into the soap solution: 30 seconds Pour into mold: 30 seconds Allow soap to rest: 24 hours

Soap out of the mold and unwrapped. Cut bars of soap.

Notes:
You will want to make sure that the soap is thicker than the water thin trace that we generally have. This will prevent the soap shreds from settling to the bottom of soap.

Have fun!
