Liz's Lavendar & Oatmeal
Liz's "Lavender and Oatmeal"
It is one of my favourites because I just love the feel, smell and in particular the
organic look of the soap. It has a very natural look and it is free of artificial colours,
synthetic fragrances and animal products. It produces a nice rich creamy lather and the
soap lasts for absolutely ages.
It is perhaps one of our most favourite soaps we sell at our market stall. The recipe is
very simple.
3.8kg palm oil
0.75kg coconut oil
0.51kg lye
0.75kg water
100ml lavender essential oil
organic rolled oates added at trace
Melt oils to 45 C
Add caustic when cooled to 45 C
I use an electric drill with a handmade attachment to stir until trace. Add the E/O and
oats at trace. Then pour into mould.
I insulate the soap with wool blankets for atleast 24hrs.
My moulds are a flexible plastic tray that allow the soap to pop out about 3 days after
pouring. Each slab is then individually cut with a mighty big knife.
This recipes makes 45 cakes of soap each about 100grams.
