Guest guest Posted November 23, 2003 Report Share Posted November 23, 2003 Happy Weekend 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> 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! *Smile* Chris (list mom) Check Out The Square Window Tins Co-op! <http://www.alittleolfactory.com/> http://www.alittleolfactory.com Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted November 23, 2003 Report Share Posted November 23, 2003 I made my Pumpkin Spice soap last year. Added ground spices and different EO's (since I did not have any pumpkin spice fo). Even though I wish it had all sold earlier, the soap still has a good color (kind of a mottled spicy color) and the fragrance is still strong. It sells well for the Apple season/fall shows, then slacks off. My soap was made hp. If I find the time, I will share my Bubba's Beer soap recipe with all of you. It is one of my best sellers. Happy Thanksgiving to each of you and your families. We are having Dinner with our daughter and her husband and two children. Just found out that our son will be meeting us Christmas day in El Paso. Since he now lives in the Denver area, it will be a special 'gift' to see and visit with him. Our Christmas gift is to go home to Texas once a year to visit old friends and family.
