Hello,
I am fairly new to cold process soap making and am IN LOVE! I have so far only been making recipes that I found for free online and they have all been winners that I love so much. Knock on wood, every batch has been perfect and I feel like it comes naturally to me. Yay! However, I’m scared to alter any of the recipes at all. Can someone please help me make one of my favorite recipes just a few ounces larger with correct proportions of oil’s etc.? It currently makes approx. 46 oz. and fills a 3 pound wooden mold just a bit short for my taste. I would love to make the recipe just a bit larger, maybe 50-53 ounces?! I would also be thrilled to make this recipe in a 5 pound recipe. Please help. Thank you!
Lavender and Mint:
9.10 oz. (258 gram) distilled water
4.55 oz. (129 gram) lye
11.11 oz. (315 gram) coconut oil
12.70 oz. (360 gram) olive oil
4.76 oz. (135 gram) avocado oil
1.59 oz. (45 gram) castor oil
1.59 oz. (45 gram) cocoa butter
1.16 oz. (33 gram) Lavender essential oil
.35 oz. (10 gram) Peppermint essential oil
1 Tablespoon dried crushed mint
