Some Soap Recipes

[Guest guest]

I’m cleaning the computer database out. :-) Heres some stuff I cam

across.

 

Here's the bored rebatch that I made.

 

1# grated soap

10 oz goat's milk *had to finish off the jug I had*

5 oz Kaluiha

 

Now I know this is an awful lot of liquid for a rebatch... and yes I was

 

drinkin some of the kuluiha But not that much. It made a lovely color

like

burnt sugar but had to use a lot more Kaluiha (sp?) than I thought at

first.

The bars come out of the mold today. The bit that I got on myself in

pouring them lathered well and smelled kinda nice.

 

The other reply I got to this one was next time drink the Kaluiha and

replace it with used coffee... YUCK!! first I've never gotten that color

 

with coffee brewed or grounds, second it doesn't smell that strongly of

coffee... But anyway it seems to be working for me. I'm way into

experimenting... I love to try something new.

 

Now on with the other recipes.

 

Basic recipe two

Excellent for sensitive skins, this recipe can be adapted into wonderful

 

moisturizing soaps, shaving soaps, and baby soaps. The recipe produces

a

milk, creamy, light yellow soap that yields a foamy, shampoo-type

lather.

This is a good candidate for hand-milling recipes where emollient oils

and

soothing herbs will be added.

 

14 oz tepid water

5.9 oz lye

12 oz coconut oil

6 oz palm oil

10 oz castor oil

8 oz olive oil

4 oz wheat germ oil

 

1 Prepare the mold.

2 Blend the water and lye. Set aside and cool to 100F.

3 Melt the coconut and palm oils. Blend in the castor, olive, and wheat

 

germ oils and either heat or cool to 100F.

4. Once the temps match, blend the lye solution into the oils.

5. Stir the mixture until the soap traces. At trace, pour into the

prepared

mold.

6. Leave the soap to set for 8 to 14 hours, or until the soap is solid

and

firm to the touch. Release the soap from the mold and allow to cure for

2

to 4 weeks.

 

Comfrey and lavender shaving soap

Shaving soaps are quickly becoming more and more popular, as the old mug

and

brush routine finds its way back into the American lifestyle. This

mildly

astringent and moisturizing shaving soap, with its old-fashioned

fragrance

of lavender, is a favorite that reminds many people of the soap their

grandfather used to use.

 

15 oz tepid water

5.4 oz lye

14 oz coconut oil

6 oz palm oil

6 oz olive oil

4 oz castor oil

4 oz comfrey-infused oil

4 oz wheat germ oil

2 oz aloe vera oil

2 oz lavender E.O.

 

1 prepare mold or molds

2 Blend the water and lye. Set aside and cool to 100F.

3 Melt the coconut and palm oils. Blend in the castor, olive, comfrey

infused, wheat germ, and aloe vera oils and either heat or cool to 100F.

4. Once the temps match, blend the lye solution into the oils.

5. Stir the mixture until the soap traces,then add the lavender E.O.

Stir

thoroughly and pour into the prepared mold.

6. Leave the soap to set for 12 to 24 hours, or until the soap is solid

and

firm to the touch. Release the soap from the mold and allow to cure for

2

to 4 weeks.

 

goat's milk soap with avocado and dill

This is a creamy, emollient soap, enriched with soothing avocado oil and

 

scented with the delicate fragrance of dill. Mild, gentle, and with a

rich

lather, this soap is excellent for cleansing very dry skin. Avocado oil

is

produced from the fruit's kernel and is included for it's nourishing and

 

conditioning qualities.

 

10 oz goat's milk

6 oz water

4 oz avocado oil

40 oz Basic Recipe Five, grated

2 Tbsp. finely chopped dried dillweed

0.5 oz dill E.O.

 

1 Prepare the molds

2. In top of double boiler, heat the goat's milk, water, and avocado oil

to

180F and add the grated soap.

3. With a minimum of stirring, melt the soap.

4 When the soap and liquids have blended and the mixture is clear and

runny,

stir in the dillweed and E.O. Pour into the prepared molds.

5 Leave the soaps to cool to room temp or until they have formed a thick

 

skin and are firm to the touch. Release the soaps from their molds and

allow to dry for 2 - 4 weeks.

 

Basic Recipe #5

This recipe produces a very versatile and extremely gentle, off white

soap

with long-lasting bubbles. The lye is mixed with the goat's milk

instead of

water, which means you need to watch the solution very carefully. First

it

will be cloudy, then it will turn light brown, before finally becoming

orange. The trick is to blend the oils before you dissolve the lye -

because you need to mix the lye solution into the oils before the

solution

turns orange.

 

12 oz coconut oil

4 oz palm oil

24 oz olive oil

16 oz goat's milk tepid

5.9 oz lye

1. Prepare the mold

2 Melt the coconut and palm oils. Blend in the olive oil and either

heat or

cool to 120F.

3 Blend the goat's milk and lye. Stir to dissolve the lye.

4. Blend the lye solution into the oils when the solution is light

brown.

5 Stir the mixture until the soap traces. At trace, pour into the

prepared

molds.

6 Leave the soap to set for 12 to 24 hours, or until the soap is solid

and

firm to the touch. Release the soap form the mold and allow to cure for

6 -

8 weeks.

Goat's Milk Soap

You can use any recipe to make milk soap - you just substite 8.5 oz of

goats milk ( or buttermilk) for 6 oz of water. I use the canned

evaporated

goats milk

all the time and it works fine I made some gms yesterday - using around

3#'s

of oils - olive, coconut and palm and cocoa butter. My calculations

called

for 21 oz of water. What I did was use 12 oz of water and mix my lye

with

it. Let cool, etc. Mix my oils and lye water together. After they were

well

mixed but before trace, I added in my cold from the fridge canned goats

milk

(12 oz). It worked very nice and turned a light cream color - not a dark

tan

that you can get when you mix the lye directly into the gm Hope this

helps

And I have to include this one cuz I got such a kick out of it

 

Fisherman Soap

Remove hooks from three fishermen and chop into small pieces. mix with

2 kilos of whale blubber. Add lye and stir till hot.... Add very large

quantity of fragrance oil at trace. Pour into sardine tins and leave to

set.
