Hi! Just wanted to run this recipe by with all you experienced folks first.
2lb batch
80% Coconut oil (25.60oz)
20% Avocado Oil (6.40oz)
Water 12.16oz
Lye 5.42oz
20% SF
I'm completely out of ingredients to soap with, so I went out and bought a small jar of coconut oil. We have a 33oz bottle of avocado oil sitting on the counter that the husband has been using to cook with .. And it's been calling to me for a week now, whispering "soap with me!" Haha.
Figured I'd try a bit of it out. I've never used it before (have heard good things though!).
There's also a challenge going on in another group that I'm in. The challenge is to make a pencil line in your soap, which I've never done before.
Would this recipe work for that? Should I even bother using the avocado oil and just do a 100% coconut oil soap (20% SF of course).
I was also thinking of doing another salt bar. Can I make a pencil line in a salt bar?
So sorry for all the questions! I always have a million thoughts and ideas running through my head when it comes to making up a soap recipe.
Thank you!
