Once again, I made a very small batch, 7 ounces. This small batch made a total of 10 and one half of the mini bars. I scented it with just a little bit of patchouli (12 drops).
The recipe is as follows:
30% Avocado oil
10% Castor oil
40% Olive oil
10% Shea Butter
10% Sunflower Oil
5% superfat with a lye concentration of 40%
I added about half an ounce of coconut milk with the water (one ice cube's worth) and about 1/2 tsp simple syrup, in addition to the patchouli.
After just a few hours, the soap is firming up nicely. I don't think it will be a very hard bar. Once again, it's going to be hard to wait to try this soap, whether I use it as a shampoo bar or as a facial soap.
hey,
ReplyDeleteI was just researching "Genny's shampoo bar.
I am wondering if you have new observations on this... after so many years of traying it...
I see in soap-calculator that is has 0 - cleansing!
And so unbalanced (20:80 sat-unsat oils ration)
This really turns me off of even trying it!
Looking forward to hear from you some more observations, after this many years :)

Hi Jay,
DeleteYeah, I wouldn't be using soap on my hair. After a lot more reading and other people's experiences on the SoapMaking Forum, I now use a syndet bar for my hair. My hair really likes it. BTW, sorry I never responded before; I never saw this comment until today.
