I was just around at a friend's place before and he had one of my lavender/lard/coconut soaps at the sink for hand washing. It was sensational. Creamy, bubbly and the scent was lovely and had held well for over 3 years. He had used it for shaving this morning and loved the way it left his skin nice and soft.
I stopped at the supermarket on the way home and bought some lard. Pity it's so expensive here. Nearly $3 for 250g.
250g Coconut Oil
750g Lard
3 teaspoons Lavender
100% Goats milk as the liquid
What I find most interesting about this is the small quantity of lavender oil that I used. It was a time when I was buying essential oils at the pharmacy and they were so expensive that I was being stingy with the quantity. It would have been a fairly decent grade of lavender oil. :wink:
I just unmoulded the one I made last night, so here it is. I used the old MW mould so it wouldn't gel. Not very exciting but does the job.
