Handmade Liquid Soap
12 oz Palm Oil
4 oz coconut oil
3.5 oz POTASSIUM hydroxide
1 cup water
Mix potash lye and water, set aside to cool. melt oils and cool. With lye at 95° and oils at 115° combine and stir. This is a much warmer reaction than the NaOH soap. You will notice it if you use a big gulp cup and are holding it in your hand. It takes a little longer to trace, about 45-50 minutes. The trace happens suddenly. You can leave this soap in the cup to age if you like, since you will be mixing it with water later (maybe) Age for 2 weeks. If you wish, you may now thin it to a usable consistency. Add water a little at a time, and mix well. A blender works well for this. When you have the thickness you like, Add whatever fragrance you wish to use. This is another good thing about liquid soap, the essential oils need never come in contact wioth the lye, so the fragrance stays pure. Store it in a bottle or pump jar, and enjoy.
Hugs are the universal medicine.
