••• RECIPE •••
Recipe given in percentages so you can use it for any size mold
If you don’t know how to convert percentages, this article will help: bit.ly/2DaKDz3
Tall & Skinny Mold (Kiwi & Co on Etsy) - 10” x 2.5” x 3.5”
Olive Oil - 40%
Coconut Oil - 25%
Sustainable Palm Oil -20%
Sunflower Oil (high oleic) - 6%
Avocado Oil - 6%
Castor Oil - 3%
For a palm free version, I use 15% shea butter and 5% cocoa butter in place of the palm oil.
Superfat - 5%
Sodium Hydroxide - use a soap calculator like the one at Majestic Mountain Sage (bit.ly/2ABEluj) to calculate the amount of sodium hydroxide required for your specific recipe.
I used a 35% lye solution (water = 1.85 x lye)
Fragrance:
Peppermint Essential Oil

DISCLAIMER: I make these videos to share my own personal methods and techniques for how I make cold process soap. These videos are not intended as tutorials for beginners. These videos are intended for those who already have an understanding of cold process soap making. Cold process soapmaking has many variables and involves working with sodium hydroxide (NaOH, also referred to as lye). Lye and raw soap can damage your eyes and burn your skin. When making soap, you should already know and practice lye safe handling procedures and always wear safety gear. While I hope you find watching my videos helpful or entertaining, so many variables go into making soap and even the smallest change can greatly affect the results; therefore, I am not liable or responsible for your results if you try any of the methods or techniques that I use in my videos.
