Hemp Apricot and Mango Rosehip Soap Recipes

Mango Rosehip

3 oz. Mango Butter

4 oz. Rosehip Oil

9 oz. Coconut oil

10.5 oz. Palm Oil

3 oz. Palm Kernel Oil

1 oz. Castor Oil

1.5 oz. Stearic Acid

4.7 oz. lye

12.1 oz. water

This one is designed to be a relatively hard bar but with great conditioning properties and lots of lather.  The rosehip oil gives it a pink tint. It makes 32 ounces of soap.

Note: This is a new favorite of mine. It's a nice hard bar with good cleansing properties while still maintaining lots of conditioning. It makes a great lather too.

Hemp Apricot

3 oz. Hemp Butter

2 oz. Sweet Almond Oil

3 oz. Apricot Kernal Oil

10.5 oz. Coconut Oil

6 oz. Palm Kernel Oil

9 oz. Palm Oil

1.5 oz. Castor Oil

1 oz. Stearic Acid

5.4 oz Lye

13.7 oz. water

This is a rework of my original Hemp. That one wasn't a favorite. Hopefully this will be an improvement. This is designed to be a hard bar with high conditioning properties. This recipe makes a 36 oz. batch.

Note: The Hemp Apricot seems to be much more popular than the original Hemp soap recipe. My brother, the mechanic, loves this one as a hand soap. It has good cleaning properties.

so do you wash with it, eat it or smoke it? they both sound nice - when i make soap i just use a very basic recipe (which makes 3 kg of soap (approx 6lbs) and add lavender or eucalyptus oil. yours are much more impressive!

I've never tried making soap, but I do remember my grandmother making soap on the farm. She didn't by lye, she somehow used woodashes to get the lye. I don't understand it but my engineering hubby tells me you can. All I remember is grandma making it in a huge, black cast iron kettle outside. Her's didn't smell nice like I think your recipes here probably do. I'm planning to look back through your archives on soap and lotion when I have time.
