sherry Posted April 28, 2016 Share Posted April 28, 2016 MAY 2016 Soap of the Month Cold Processed 100% Coconut oil Soap This is a recipe that lot of people make on line I got mine from a friend and formulated the way I wanted it I have been making this recipe for my Granddaughters for 4 years now and became a favorite of lot of her students at her school. Equipment needed: A good working digital scale Large enough container to hold a 48 ounces oil batch of soap Stick blender 1 container for lye one-container for water Paper towels to rest your Stick blender Thermometer Wooden sticks 1 small container for the extra oils 1 small container for the Essential oils, Freezer paper if needed to line your mold, Soap Mold for 48 oz of oils And rubber gloves Ever since I start making soap 10 years ago I use a water discount 33% with all my soaps And 5% Super fat I don’t know why but this is how I do it its up to you if you want to use full water But in this recipe I use 33 % water discount 20 % Superfat So here it goes INGREDIENTS: Oils for 48 oz Coconut oil 48oz [100 %] Essential Oils .50 % Tea Tee oil .50% Rosemary .50% Clary Sage .50 % Lemongrass At trace 1.00 oz Hazelnut oil 1.00 oz Pomegranate oil 7.92 oz distilled water and 7.92 Almond, coconut, 7.04 Sodium hydroxide (formulated for 20 % superfat) Next, weigh your 7.92 oz distilled water and lye, ALWAYS combine the lye into the water and stir with your Spoon until the mixture is clear. Set aside to cool. When water and lye are cooling I mix in the Almond and Coconut Weigh the Coconut oil into your soap bowl and melted it down Weigh the Essential oils and set them aside I always soap @ a room temperature When everything is ready I start Slowly pour the lye into the oil mixture, stick blend ONLY until you see a light trace. As long as the mixture is fully emulsified and it reaches a light trace, you can ad your carrier oils And the essential oils Once everything is mix really good You start pour in to your mold you tap the soap on the counter for the bubbles to Come at the top. I do not insulate my soap; I just allow it to set on the counter I demold the soap the next day, and start cutting the soap, With this recipe I get 13-14 bars of soap I place the soap on a curing rack for at least for six to 8 weeks. - I always try the soap by washing my hands after a few days GOOD LUCK 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Candybee Posted May 1, 2016 Share Posted May 1, 2016 (edited) Great recipe! Thanks Sherry! I love the picture you added with the soap bubbles in your hands. Shows how nice and bubbly the soap is! I love a good coconut oil soap!! I've never added hazelnut or pomegranate oil. Can you tell why you like to use them and what they add to the soap?

Candybee Posted May 2, 2016 Share Posted May 2, 2016 Thanks for clarifying Sherry! Makes me want to give them a try. I already had hazelnut oil on my list to try someday, now I think I'll add the pomegranate too. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Terry Posted August 15, 2016 Share Posted August 15, 2016 As puma says your recipe looks so creamy yum! I want to try hand at soap making but need to do more research. You mention a brochure that mentions the benefits of each oil. Would you mind sharing where I could get that ? Thanks for the tutorial Sherry!
