Fragrance Oil of your choice (I’m going to be using Pears & Berries Fragrance Oil)
Scale

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

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!

About Andee

Director of Happiness. I'm a thirty-something soap snob. I've grown up with handmade soaps, and I love them! I really like making lotions, soaps, and perfumes. I adore mixing scents to come up with something new. My favorite scent is either Wicked or Cotton Candy. I tend to hoard fragrances, I even have an Earl Grey Tea from the MMS catalog. I won't tell you how old it is, but it sure is good!

    Hi,

    I had a quick question… I read some where that you could add melt n pour objects to cold press soap to make for easier decorating… is that true? If so I would love to know more about it!

      You can do this but be forewarned, the melt and pour soap can easily separate from the cold process soap in the shower. For your own use, you can try all you want. If you sell your soap, please do adequate testing first.

    Hi Andee,
    I saw in you oatmeal soap that you used a cutting tool, but I didn’t find it in you catalog. Do you sell them at all or can you recommend where to get one?
