We are enjoying our first batch of shampoo bars so I've decided to research this new product and start experimenting with various recipes for different types of hair. This one is for normal to oily hair and uses green tea with lemon juice.
18 oz. Twinings Green Tea with Camomile
2 oz. Lemon Juice
6.6 oz. Sodium Hydroxide
16.8 oz. Coconut Oil
8.6 oz. Castor Oil
8.6 oz. Safflower Oil
7.2 oz. Palm Oil
4.3 oz. Jojoba Oil
2.4 oz. Cocoa Butter
1 1/2 Tbsp. Essential Oil Breathe Green Blend (Sweet Basil, Rosemary, Laurel Leaf, Peppermint, Ginger, Eucalyptus, Ravensara, Lemon)
1 tsp. Vitamin E Oil
I used the 3" PVC pipe as a mold for a substantial sized shampoo bar for using in the shower. I'm excited for this new recipe and will use this basic formula for other variations next weekend!

- 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!
