Dolly's Fine Mint Soap 10-18-20
Recipe Instructions
This soap is a cp soap and follows the general steps you use to make CP soap. I discounted water at 5% and added an extra .28 ounces of lye along with a tablespoon of sodium lactate.
I have modified this recipe in the past by adding half a tsp. of turmeric. I have also substituted palm oil for Babbassu.
Let your spirit of experimentation guide you.
Essential oil blend is proprietary. Again, experiment and use the fragrance that is long lasting in CP soap.
