yogurt soap with cocoa
Recipe Instructions
- 10" Silicone Loaf Mold
- 17.5 oz. Olive Oil (50%)
- 7 oz. Coconut Oil (20%)
- 7 oz. Palm Oil (20%)
- 2.5 oz. Shea Oil (7%)
- 1 oz. Oat Oil (3%)
- 9.8 oz. Distilled Water (10% Water Discount)
- 4.9 oz. Sodium Hydroxide Lye
- 1 oz. Colloidal Oatmeal
- 1 oz. Plain Yogurt
- Titanium Dioxide
- Oatmeal, sprinkled on top (optional)
1
Slowly and carefully add 4.9 ounces of lye to 9.8 ounces of distilled water and gently stir until the lye has fully dissolved and the liquid is clear. Set aside to cool. Optional: Stir 2 teaspoons of sodium lactate to help the soap harden and unmold more quickly.
2
Melt and measure 17.5 ounces of olive oil, 7 ounces of palm oil, 7 ounces of coconut oil, 2.5 ounces of shea oil, and 1 ounce of oat oil. To the oil mixture, add 1 teaspoon of titanium dioxide and 1 ounce of colloidal oatmeal. Stick blend thoroughly, until all the clumps are gone.
3
Once the lye water and the oils have cooled to 80-90° F (and are ideally within 10 degrees of each other), add the lye water to the oils and stick blend until thin trace.
4
Add 1 ounce of plain yogurt to the soap mixture. Stick blend thoroughly until the yogurt is fully incorporated. You should have a thin to medium trace.
5
Pour all the soap batter into the silicone mold. Tap on the counter to get rid of bubbles and lightly texture using the back of a spoon.
6
Top with dry oatmeal until you're happy with the look. To help avoid the soap from overheating, place in the fridge or freezer for 3 hours, up to overnight. Remove from the fridge or freezer and allow 2-3 days in the mold.
7
Unmold and cut into bars. Allow 4-6 weeks to fully cure. Enjoy!
