Ingredients
- 30 oz coconut water
- 15 oz coconut milk
- 20 oz lye
- 67 oz olive oil
- 36 oz coconut oil
- 18 oz sunflower oil
- 18 oz shea butter
- 9 oz castor oil
- 1 oz sandalwood essential oil
- 2 oz finely ground Himalayan Sea Salt
Instructions
**All soap recipes are listed by weight
- Freeze the coconut water and coconut milk in ice cube trays
- I like to heat my oils and butters over my woodstove but you could use a cookstove on low heat or a crockpot to melt and combine the oils and butters. Combine all oils and butters except the essential oil and 2 oz of sunflower oil
- Remove from heat and let cool while preparing lye mixture
- Use an immersion blender to crush the coconut ice cubes until slushy
- Next add the lye to the frozen coconut little by little while gently stirring. You should do this in a WELL VENTILATED area and wear protective SAFETY GLASSES and GLOVES! Always add the lye to the coconut. If you add the coconut to the lye it can explode and cause burns. Keep vinegar on hand to rinse your skin immediately in case of lye burns.
- Once the lye has dissolved, add this mixture to the oils.
- Mix with an immersion blender until it comes to trace.
- Combine the essential oil and 2 oz of sunflower oil and quickly add to mixture along with the sea salt
- Pour into molds and cover with a towel to keep it warm for 48 hours.
- Remove from molds and cut the bars to size.
- Let the bars cure for a minimum of 6 weeks before using.
