Recipe:
34% Coconut Oil
30% Crisco
30% Olive Oil, pomace
5% Castor Oil
1% Red Palm Oil
7% superfat
1.1:1 water:lye ratio
I used a couple of ounces of hemp milk as part of my water and added approximately 1/2 teaspoon Rosewood essential oil for fragrance. My batch contains 30 ounces of oils.
I wanted this soap to be an all vegetable soap. I can't call it vegan as I'm not sure just how "vegan" the oils are. It is definitely an all vegetable soap.
According to SoapCalc, the recipe numbers are as follows:
Hardness - 40
Cleansing - 23
Conditioning - 56
Bubbles - 27
Creamy - 22
Iodine - 67
INS - 150
I still don't really understand what all the numbers mean but I think this will be a nice soap. We shall see.
At the moment, I have it under a wooden box, wrapped in a blanket and a towel; I want it to gel and I'm pretty sure it will. It's certainly generating a fair bit of heat. I can feel it through the wood of the box and that wood is thick.
