Dee's
Soap
48 oz Olive
Oil
40 oz Lard
6.5
oz Lye
33.5 oz Water
2
oz Castor Oil
9
oz Buttermilk
4 oz. honey
Combine lye and water and set to let cool. Melt lard and after
melted add olive oil. Combine when lye is about 100 degrees and
oil/fat is about 110. I used a stir
stick and added to 2 oz castor oil at trace then set it up in a square
rubbermaid storage container (my choice for large mold). Let it
set for a couple of days til you can unmold, then let it sit til you can
grate. Grate it into a pot and very slowly melt, add the
buttermilk (it should be room temp or slightly warmer). You can
add the honey at any time, just keep in mild the longer the honey
'cooks' the deeper in color it will be and the more
fragrant.
This is the first time I've passed along a recipe,
also the first recipe I created from 'scratch'... ;-)
J'son's Sunflower
Soap
1# 14oz water
12 oz
lye
24 oz coconut oil
24 oz Olive oil
24 oz Sunflower
oil
14 oz Palm oil
This makes a nice hard bar
Duane's Reisling
White Wine
Soap
15 oz. coconut
oil
15 oz. olive
oil
24 oz.
crisco
7 3/4 oz.
lye
18 oz. water/wine (I took 6 oz. wine, simmered about 5 minutes, then
added enough water to equal 18
oz.)
1 oz vegetable
glycerin
1 oz. avocado oil
Add the lye to the liquid (remember it 'snows on the
lake'). Be prepared for a lot of foaming. Be sure your
container
is tall enough or it will overflow. In my case, the
liquid also turned a bright calendula orange. I panicked and added
1/8 tsp of water dispersible titanium dioxide to the lye/liquid mixture,
but the color calmed down as soon as I added it to the oils.
Probably didn't need the titanium but it didn't seem to hurt the end
product :) I poured the lye/liquid mix into the oils when both
were
about 120 degrees.
At light trace, I added the oz. of glycerin
and the oz. of avocado oil. As you can tell by my recipe, I don't
superfat heavily. If ran through the lye calculator, would
probably be in the 5% range.
The fragrance blend I used was a blend
of Sweetcakes frosted berries (a definite 'winey' scent ) SC green tea
and SC green
apple pear. I believe it was 1 1/2 oz. frosted
berries, something like 3/4 oz of green tea and 3/4 oz. of green apple
pear. (the memory is going, going,gone!) This recipe is just the
right size if you're using Rita's 18 bar mold.
One of the
reasons I added glycerin and avocado oil to this bar is that I thought
that if vinegar is an astringent, that
perhaps wine might be drying,
so thought some ingredients to add moisturizing/softening would make for
a nicer bar.
Egg Yolk Soap #1
10 ounces Palm Oil
4 ounces Coconut Oil
2 ounces Olive Oil
2 ounces lye
8 ounces water
3-4 egg yolks to weigh 2 ounces.
Mix lye and water. Set aside to cool. Melt Palm and Coconut oils
together,
set aside to cool. When oils are at 110* and lye water is
at 100*, gently
pour lye into oils. Mix until soap traces. Mix egg
yolks and olive oil together. Carefully mix traced soap mixture into egg
and oil mix, stir
carefully. Continue until approx 4 ounces of soap
have been mixed into the
egg and oil. Add the egg and soap mixture
slowly back into the main soap mix, pour into prepared moulds, allow to
stand covered and
out of drafts for 48 hours. Remove form moulds, cut
as needed, and allow to age open to air, 2-3 weeks.
Egg Yolk Soap #2
Here
is an egg yolk soap recipe. I haven't tried it, so I can't vouch for it
personally!
32 oz.
Crisco
1 oz. grated (chunked)
beeswax
4.35 oz.
lye
12 oz.
water
6 egg yolks, stirred well (removing white thingys - chalazas
optional)
Put about 1 cup Crisco from your measured amount into
your
pot and get it melted and hot. Add your grated (chunked) beeswax
to
melt it also. Then start adding the balance of the
Crisco until it is all
melted. Add your lye to the water and
stir until lye is dissolved and set
aside to cool. When both
temps. are at 95 degrees, add the room temperature egg yolks to the fat
and stir or blend until well mixed. Add the lye mixture to the fat
mixture and hand stir to trace (traces quickly). Pour into molds,
let sit 18 to 24 hours, unmold and cut. These begin a pukey green
color with yellow edges and off smell. Will get more yellow every
day and the smell is gone within a day. They end up nice and hard,
yellow unscented and rich.
