Late night experiments in soap land

[AnnaMarie]

It's 10:30 pm, and I'm tired :yawn: Sensible Me :angel: says I really should go to bed. Ridiculous Me :crazy: takes over and decides it's time to make shampoo bars:Kitten Love:
So here I am.....

My experiment recipe I came up with for the night:

6.05 oz aloe Vera liquid
5.6 oz avocado oil
1.6 oz castor
3.2 oz coconut oil
2.5 oz chamomile infused almond oil
3.5 oz evo
2 oz sodium hydroxide

This is a 10% superfat recipe with a high conditioning level. For fun I throw in an ounce of chamomile extract (hey, I'm blond. Why not??). I also put in a couple of tsp of tea tree eo and spike lavender eo to boost scalp health. To be sure, this will be a soft bar, but we will see what happens.

that's it???? no pics???? pics are a must, esp for crazy late night experiments!

AnnaMarie, you could throw in some sodium lactate to help make it harder next time...

speaking of poo bar, i brought in mine to the salon today. the poor girl who washed my hair was looking bewildered, lol. she thought i was crazy or something to wash my hair with a bar of soap. i told her no it's a shampoo bar. she still looked bewildered.

btw, what kind of hair/scalp do you have? that high avocado looks so yummy..

Yes, pictures are a must!

I'm still waiting on my shampoo bars to cure, but I want to use them sooo bad...

I guess this will be in two parts

The pictures are in reverse order. The first one shows the gel phase that it is still coming out of. The second picture is the freshly poured soap. Did I mention that I didn't know it was spring forward when I started this last night? I'm toasted today:yawn:
Cheers!
