UCBR Auction Soaps Recipes

Usually I experiment with every batch, creating a unique recipe for each batch of soap. But with so many to do at once, I made it simpler and stuck to one base recipe, just changing the additives.


Base Recipe yields ~1 lb soap

Almond Oil 0.5 oz
Castor Oil 0.5 oz
Cocoa Butter 0.5 oz
Coconut Oil 4 oz
Olive Oil 4 oz
Palm Oil 4 oz
Shea Butter 0.5 oz

NaOH 1.96 oz (makes soap 7% super fatted)
Water 6 fluid oz (everything else is weighed, not measured)

Oils heated to 120 degrees. NaOH poured into water, then cooled to 120 degrees. Then heated oils and cooled NaOH/water mix are mixed together, and stirred. Once soap is brought to trace, all other additives, such as essential oils, herbs, coloring, juice, etc., are added. Any extra instructions listed by individual soap.
