I'm attempting to make shampoo bars today and wondered if anyone else has made them and could share any tips/hints about making them. The recipe I found goes as follows:

 

12 oz coconut oil

19 oz pomace olive oil (not virgin)

12 oz castor oil

 

5 1/2 oz lye

16 oz distilled water

 

1-2oz lavender, rosemary, patchouli, fruit and flower oils, eucalyptus or tee tree

 

1 oz henna in a color compatible with your hair color

 

First of all, is pomace olive oil just regular olive oil that I can get at the grocery store?

Second, should I do a water reduction on this?

 

Thanks from a newbie trying to learn :-)Carla in SD
