NAME's Soap Recipe
Catawba Wine by Kirstin Campbell
Zen. LOL... I decided that the ultimate relaxation of a good glass of wine with a good meal and a nice soaking spa experience combined together was my favourite of favourite things!
My wine soap was a combination of all these things except the meal. LOL!
Base Ingredients
- 15 oz Coconut oil
- 15 oz Olive oil
- 12 oz Cottonseed oil
- 12 oz Soybean oil
- 18 oz. Water/Wine*
- 7 3/4 oz NaOH
Additive
- Alkanet powder infused in 1 oz of the olive oil for colourant.
Notes
*I took 6 oz. wine, simmered about 5 minutes then added enough water to equal 18 oz. liquid.
The alkanet is odd - sometimes it's a gorgeous deeper purple, other times a gray lilac shade. I could have used a bit more, but this one is more a grayed lilac. It is a cold process/oven process, meaning I cold process the soap, and then put it in the oven at 150°F for 2 hours and allow it to gel, cutting it at 12 hours after trace, and it cures 4 weeks.
