eugenia Posted February 7, 2006 Share Posted February 7, 2006 This one is another staple for me. Scented Nantucket Briar this time.20% coconut5% babassu15% PKO5% castor oil15% palm oil40% rice bran oilI normally go no higher than 12% on coconut, but this is a very, bubbly, cleansing soap. You can even go higher on the PKO and skip the babassu if you don't have it. I add 1 TBS of used coffee grounds per pound of oils at trace, and some poppy seeds. This is a great soap to have by the sink for really messy hands. It also works well on laundry stains. I would not want to shower with it. I took the pic with the mitre box I use for cutting logs to give you some ideas. It gets a nice color and look from the coffee and seeds.e Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sherie Posted February 7, 2006 Share Posted February 7, 2006 Awesome soap Eugenia! Thanks so much for sharing. Do you think it would work for mechanics? My dad and uncle restore antique cars and when they work on the engines, their hands really get messy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I might even up the coconut and the PKO for them; subtract from the base (RBO or olive). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
