this is just a nice, creamy "family-style" nuthin' fancy soap recipe you might like to try...makes a hard bar, too:
30% tallow
30% olive
25% coconut
10% lard (can't do without my piggy)
5% castor
I soap around 110-120* 5% superfat, water/lye 2:1, 2 tsp sugar to water BEFORE adding lye, add 2 oz canned coconut milk per pound of oil at thin trace...I usually add my f/o to the coconut milk & stir well...hth!
Thank you Heartsong!! That's very kind of you to share a recipe! I'll have to look up the whole process of actually making the soap haha. I've just been reading and researching before I try it yet! Do you discount the water for the coconut milk? I was actually looking that up earlier. (Substituting other liquids for water) and it looked a little more advanced so I kept going haha.
