Recipe

Olive Oil (100%) | 1000g

Goat's Milk | 250g

Lye (caustic soda) | 135g

Superfat - 0%

Essential oil blend - 30g

Tools and equipment used

10" Loaf mold

Regular spatula

Soap making goggles

Gloves

Stick blender

Large PP mixing bowl

Easy pour cups

Digital scale

 Directions:

1) Weigh 1000g of Olive oil, 135g grams of caustic soda, and 30g of the essential oil blend. (Always run your recipe through a soap calculator to ensure your ratios are correct).

2) Slowly mix your lye into your frozen goat's milk. Do not add all the lye at once to avoid overheating the mixture and scorching the milk.

 3) Add the milk and lye mixture to the olive oil and stick blend until thin trace. Since the recipe contains 100% olive oil, it will take time.

4) Add the essential oil blend to the emulsified soap batter and stick blend until well incorporated.

5) Pour soap batter into your mold and let it set. I was able to unmold it after a week :p

 6) Allow the soap to cure for at least 6 months (yes, that long - but hopefully worth it) before using.
