Ted Gibbons at John Harris High asked if I would make soap with his 3rd period Chemistry class. The kids were great! They were really engaged in the process and loved the chance to choose their own specialty mold for their personal bar of soap. This is the recipe that I used with them.
11.2 oz. Olive Oil
11.2 oz. Coconut Oil
8 oz. Palm Oil
1.6 oz. Cocoa Butter
12.1 oz. Water
4.7 oz. Sodium Hydroxide
1 Tbsp. Vitamin E Oil
1 Tbsp. Essential Oil (Allspice, Anise, Cinnamon, Patchouli, Orange)
This small batch made about 12 bars of lovely white soap.
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!
