Soap Recipe - Shea Butter Soap

Im my last soap making post I mentioned some advice that I received from my new lye vendor. Today i adjusted one of my favorite recipes to add the steric acid and castor oil that she recommened. Here's the recipe. We'll see in about 3 weeks if it works. Don't try this recipe at home unless I have posted a note about the results!

Updated December 2007 - This soap is awesome!! It's a little harder than my original recipe (which I wanted) but still has terrific lather.

Coconut Oil 9.5 oz.

Shea Butter 6 oz.

Olive Oil 8 oz.

Palm Oil 7 oz.

Castor Oil 1 oz.

Stearic Acid .5 oz.

Lye 4.54 oz.

water 12.1 oz.

Vicky,

I made soap a couple of years ago and I really enjoyed it. I will be interested in how this recipe turns out. I might have to try it. ;-)
