I usually buy soap from an etsy seller but have been wanting to make my own for some time now. Have made a few batches now and can understand how this can quickly turn into an obsession! Bad with reading instructions, I do my best to follow steps carefully and have so far successfully avoided a volcanic chemical reaction from mixing the lye solution.
For this particular batch, I wanted to make an unscented (always palm oil-free) cold process soap recipe with olive oil, coconut oil, castor oil, avocado oil, and mango butter. At trace, I added some home-grown calendula (dried and ground) and a pinch of turmeric powder for color. The bars looked great after cutting and will cure on the rack for at least 6 weeks.
