Lard: 20%
Shea Butter:20%
Olive Oil: 10%
Coconut Oil: 30%
Castor oil: 10%
Cocoa Butter: 10%
5% superfat
(Lye and water coming from Soapee calculator)
Planning on making this as a mocha soap so I had two ideas.
First, I am going to try using a little powdered buttermilk in the soap (going to pull a little water out of the lye solution to dissolve it and then put it into the oils.
Second I am going to split the batter (may 70%, 30%), add coffee grounds to the larger portion, then color the smaller portion with cocoa powder. Then use that to try a swirl.
I know it several techniques at once, but I don't get many chances to soap. Goal for this soap is to be a good hand cleansing soap that won't completely dry out my skin. Any thoughts on my recipe or idea? I do want to try to keep this one using things that I already have or can easily get (grocery/drug store). That also means that I probably won't try to use any fragrance in this.
Thanks!
