This is my old standard and, actually, my specialty. I first made this recipe in February of 2001 and have stuck by it ever since. I usually double it and it fits perfectly in the pots that I use. I set this one up in the fancy molds (rabbit, horse, cat, honeycomb, heart, etc) and it makes about 30 bars. Love it. This time, I really added the Ylang Ylang to give it a firm scent. As usual, I squirted in a bit of Vitamin E oil for good measure.
12.5 oz olive oil
12.5 oz. palm oil
10 oz. coconut oil
5 oz. sweet almond oil
17.5 oz. goat's milk
5.5 oz sodium hydroxide
1.5 Tbsp essential oil (Ylang Ylang)
I have been making my own soap since 1999 and specialize in cold process bath & body bars. This blog will help me to record my new soapmaking efforts and share them with you. All soaps are available for purchase.
About Me

- Lori Jo
- I have a wonderful family who supports my many hobbies including singing, soapmaking, wine tasting and rabbits. I recently retired from teaching English as a Second Language and love to travel. I started making soap in 1999 when we were showing goats in milk as a 4-H project. All of my soaps are made with pure oils and no animal fats. All fragrances are from essential oils. Store-bought "soap" is really a detergent. My soap will leave your skin clean and moisturized. Try some!
