These are old soaps using my favorite recipe of the past year. I usually have trouble with my edges getting ashy and crumbly, and I'm an impatient un-molder. These soaps have a lovely smooth semi-opacity with no ash, and unmold beautifully with sodium lactate. Like most milk soaps they have wonderful creamy lather. The only thing is my micas/clays tend to become muted, because of the milk. Not a problem!
Kind of a simple formula though-
32% OO
25% PO
30% CO (not an issue for me)
8% Castor
5% Avocado
7% SF
33% lye concentration
For water sub 4 parts frozen goat milk to 1 part hydrated coconut milk powder to 1 part whole cow milk. Gradually mix in lye while in ice bath.
pink = grapefruit FO, cream on left = gardenia FO, cream in middle = citrus EO, brown on bottom = cedar & saffron FO
Grapefruit and green tea after unmolding. I love a sharp edge.
