I got a new pot for Christmas! Now I can make larger batches of soap. So tonight I'm making my popular Loofah soap. I'm using the recipe I call my "butter blend" because of the cocoa butter and shea butter ingredients. I'm adding ground comfrey leaves for a minty green natural colorant along with an essential oil blend that includes tea tree for it's anti-bacterial property.
27 oz. Olive Oil
27 oz. Palm Oil
27 oz. Coconut Oil
7.5 oz. Castor Oil
4.8 oz. Safflower Oil
1.8 oz. Shea Butter
.9 oz. Cocoa Butter
36 oz. Water
13.5 oz. Sodium Hydroxide
Comfrey Leaves (dried and powdered)
Vitamin E Oil
Essential Oils (tea tree, fir needle, lavender)
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!
that sounds like a great soap. we gonna have to meet up to make an exchange.
