Recipe Introduction


Great for traveling... No worries about spills!


List of Ingredients




Makes approximately 2 lbs.
16 oz Coconut 76 Oil
16 oz Olive Oil
4 oz Wheat Germ Oil
4 oz Castor Oil
5.9 oz Lye (Sodium Hydroxide)
15 oz Distilled Water
2 oz Any Fragrance or Essential Oil (we used Peppermint Essential Oil)



Recipe



Equipment Needed:

Scale that weighs in pounds and ounces
Large one-gal. stainless steel or enamel pot (use this exclusively for soap-making)
Two plastic pitchers, 2-3 qt. size
Hand stick blender (optional, but makes tracing much easier)
Plastic measuring cup 2-3 cup size
Two wooden or plastic spoons (one for the lye and one for the oils. Use these exclusively for
soap-making)
Two kitchen thermometers (one for the lye and one for the oils - must read to over 100
degrees)
Rubber gloves
Safety goggles
Clear plastic container with snap-on lid 8" x 11" x 3" deep, or wooden soap mold
lined with freezer paper
Large piece of cardboard the size of the wooden mold - used as a lid
Old blanket
Freezer paper or plastic garbage bags



Remember: Be sure to allow for the weight of the containers. Lye (such as Red Devil), can be purchased at any hardware store. All ingredients should be weighed.
Begin by putting on your goggles and rubber gloves and weigh out 12 ozs. of lye into one of the plastic containers. Weigh out 32 oz of distilled water into the other container. Slowly and in a steady stream pour the lye into the water, stirring until dissolved. Do this in a well ventilated area and try not to splash. Let the lye/water mixture sit until the temperature reaches between 90-100 degrees. This may take several hours, but if you're in a hurry you can place the container in a cold water bath to bring down the temperature quicker.
