Guest guest Posted November 23, 2003 Report Share Posted November 23, 2003 I forgot to mention that the soap making directions below can be slightly modified to a hot process soap method (for faster set up and use of the soap - if you - say for example - wanted to be able to give some to your Thanksgiving guests . *Smile* Chris (list mom) http://www.alittleolfactory.com Christine Ziegler [chrisziggy] Sunday, November 23, 2003 11:28 AM Making Pumpkin Soap 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 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 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
