All Natural

[Lindsay]

Hi all I’ve been soaping for about 2 weeks now and been experimenting a little and leaning more towards all natural. I’ve made about 8 loafs. eeeeeeeek hope they have worked.
Anyways I’ve made this one which I’m pretty pleased with It’s coconut oil, trex, olive oil, peppermint and liquorice tea, and a small amount of peppermint essential oil

The 2 hard oils I use are approx 60% of the recipe does this seem ok

Nice job! I see that Trex is a mix of palm and rapeseed oils in varying amounts. Can you find it in a lye calculator?
