7th International Soap Swap
NAME's Soap Recipe

Zen Cowboy by Kelly May

Ok, here's my recipe....which as you can see, is called Zen Cowboy. Now here's the thing.... I felt the scent of this soap was very Zennish, hence covering the Zen aspect of our 'Dual Theme' AND ....I believe this soap would be a wonderful washer of dirty, dusty Cowboys, perhaps it may even attract a Cowgirl or two, thereby covering the Soaps for Jobs theme * chuckles*

Grab and measure out all this stuff below and you're home and hosed!!!

Base Ingredients

• 816 g Olive oil
• 600 g Coconut oil
• 600 g Tallow
• 120 g Mango Butter
• 120 g Corn oil
• 120 g Rice Bran oil
•   24 g Stearic Acid

• 670 g Water
• 330 g NaOH [7% superfat]

Temps

• Oils 110-113°F
• Lye 105°F

At light trace

• 1 Tbspn each of Red and Yellow Clays,
• 3 tspns Coconut milk powder,
• 1 Tbspn Oatbran,
• 1 Tbspn ground citrus peel, all blended with 50 gm of Aloe Juice
• EO's and FO's were warmed slightly before adding to pot.

OK, this Saddlepack Soap is scented with the following:

• 40 mls Sandalwood essential oil
• 20 mls Neroli essential oil
•   8 mls Rosemary essential oil
•   6 mls Amber fragrance oil
•   4 mls May Chang essential oil
•   4 mls Fir oil
•   4 mls Palmarosa essential oil
•   3 mls Apothecary Musk fragrant oil
•   2 mls Clary Sage essential oil
•   2 mls Basil essential oil
•   1 pinky fingernail-sized blob of Oakmoss absolute

I didn't quite use all of this blend - had some left over.

Anyways, hope y'all enjoy my creation for the Seventh big Annual Soap Gifting.

Hugs from .....

Kel :)
