fabulousfunfur Posted January 6, 2006 Share Posted January 6, 2006 I posted a few times, including today in general discussion on ideas and suggestions on making hemp soap. I really didn't get much help besides one or two people on what I should do. So with a few bits of information, I thought to just 'wing it'. I was told over and over not to use more than 5-10% hempseed oil, but I'm stubborn and wanted lots! We'll see. I'll post in a few days when it is cut. I can't believe how green it is (I was hoping for that!) and there is no added colorants, additives etc.This is my recipe:HEMP OIL SOAP with hemp seed nuts (shelled hemp seeds)Olive Oil = 60% Hemp seed oil = 20% Coconut oil= 15% Palm oil = 5% Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kimberly Posted January 6, 2006 Share Posted January 6, 2006 Definitly let us see that cut. It will be VERY soft. I use 10% hemp in mine and it takes about 2 weeks longer to cure. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
valleygrls98 Posted January 6, 2006 Share Posted January 6, 2006 wow what does it smell like as I recall hemp oil is really nutty Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brenda Posted January 6, 2006 Share Posted January 6, 2006 Interesting! I'd like to see that cut as well! It's fun to experiment. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fabulousfunfur Posted January 6, 2006 Author Share Posted January 6, 2006 I am going to leave it a few days before I cut it.........Once I was pouring, it really wasn't much hemp seed oil used! 20% of a small batch wasn't much........It's the large amount of olive oil I used I'd be mad I wasted!That's how I saw it, experimental.........we'll see............I emailed a few companies that sold hemp bars, most of them said they used 20-30%, so that's why I wanted to test it out.I ate some of the hemp seed nuts, as it's use really is for salads etc. It is so good, tastes nutty, yes, like sunflower seeds kind of just not hard. Yes it smells a little nutty too.........We'll see once it's cut......I don't think many soapers on these message boards use hemp seed oil. I think that's why I didn't get a great response for help to finding a recipe. I hope to start something good here! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
caradelrae Posted January 6, 2006 Share Posted January 6, 2006 I like using hemp in my soaps but since the hemp has a tendancy to go racid quicker I tend to stay away.....I have heard that adding some ROE will extend it shelf life, but man, that stuff is way to costly.Keep us updatedCara Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fabulousfunfur Posted January 6, 2006 Author Share Posted January 6, 2006 What is ROE. I've heard someone say that before.I was on a website for hemp oil, and it said that it DOES NOT go rancid quick. But I've heard otherwise........hmmmm Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

guppygirl Posted January 7, 2006 Share Posted January 7, 2006 That looks great! I've been wanting to try a "hippy" bar w/hemp seed oil & a patchouli blend for fragrance. Be sure to post pics after you cut it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
