Happy Friday Everybody!

 

Being that we are in pumpkin season, I just made a new batch of my

Pumpkin Pie Spice soap and here is the recipe:

 

This makes about 12 lbs of soap, so be sure to adjust it for your size

needs as necessary ..

A great place to do your lye/oil/liquid calculations is the lye

calculator at http://www.the-sage.com

 

This is a Cold Process soap method recipe.

 

70 oz olive oil (I use a combination of pomace and virgin)

30 oz coconut oil

30 oz palm oil

 

29 oz pumpkin

 

18 oz lye (sodium hydroxide)

25 oz water

 

100 ml Essential Oil - Pumpkin Pie Spice Scent Blend

 

I dissolved the lye in the liquid and set it aside to cool.

 

I added the pumpkin to my oils after heating them till the solid oils

were fully melted.

 

Then I combined the oil/pumpkin blend and lye water, and stirred it to

trace, (at this point the soap smelled like cooking pumpkin :-) ) Then I

added my essential oils blend and poured the raw soap into my mold and

covered it (to avoid the soda ash issue).

 

The soap is now in gel stage, and it is a nice orange color. Hopefully

it'll come out as wonderfully as last year's batch did! ;)
