How to make 100% coconut oil soap - Simple cold process soap making.
In this video I show you how to make 100 % coconut oil soap. This is a very simple, unscented cold process soap great for beginners. It’s made with a 20 % superfat to counteract the high cleansing effect of coconut oil.
You will only need 3-4 ingredients to make this soap. One of the ingredients is lye, please be careful and wear safety equipment when handling lye and don’t breathe in the fumes.
This soap needs a 4-6 week cure before it's ready to be used, I forgot to write that in the video :)

Total batch weight: 707 g
500 g coconut oil
124.6 g distilled water ( 37% lye concentration)

Citric acid will react with lye and neutralize some of it. If you want to keep the superfat at 20% the lye amount have to be adjusted. 10 g citric acid neutralizes 6 g of lye.
if using citric acid:
79.3 g lye
if not using citric acid:
73.3 g lye
