Gentle Facial soap recipe

[lizflowers42]

I wanted to make a gentle soap for the winter months!

Castor 5%
Coconut 5%
Olive Oil 75%
Shea 15%

Subbed pureed carrots and yogurt for water, and added finely ground oatmeal

Oh, that looks just lovely. Just lovely.

I'm a newbie; will that bar be softer than usual, or will the shea and coconut percentages be enough to keep it firm?

Olive Oil makes for a hard soap!

Olive Oil makes for a hard soap!

With a long cure time.

How long did you cure this one?

It is about 6 weeks old- I have a fan in my basement to help with drying. So far it is pretty hard!
