Diane Brunet's Soap Recipe
Escondido Orange Blossom Soap by Diane Brunet
The city of Escondido, California has a long agricultural history. It is located about 30 km inland from the Pacific Ocean and 160 km south of Los Angeles. It was incorporated in 1888 and the population is approximately 120,000. It is semi-arid and receives an average of 17.5 cm of rainfall a year. Most of the water is imported from the Colorado River and Northern California. Some of the crops grown are grapes (several wineries are in the area), olives, citrus and avocados. We grow all of these on our property, including palms (except coconuts), so I thought all of these varieties of oils would be a good representation of my area.
Ingredients [*]
- coconut oil
- olive oil
- palm kernel flakes
- avocado oil
- grapeseed oil
- Lye
- Orange Blossom FO
- gold mica for color (or yellow oxide)
