Ingredients
- 45 oz distilled water

- 1 oz rosemary essential oil
Instructions
**All soap recipes are listed by weight
- I like to heat my oils over my woodstove but you could use a cookstove on low heat or a crockpot to melt and combine the oils. Combine all the oils except the jojoba oil, essential oil, and 2 oz of the almond oil.
- Combine the the jojoba oil, essential oil, and 2 oz of the almond oil in a separate container.
- Next add the lye to the water 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 water. If you add the water 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 while over gentle heat until it comes to trace.
- Immediately add the jojoba mixture and blend until combined.
- Pour into molds and cover with towels 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.
