JMCintosh Posted May 5, 2007 Share Posted May 5, 2007 I made my first batch of CP soap today and although hubby was freaking out about me using lye. I finally got it done. Keep your fingers crossed. Coconut oil- 28%Olive oil-45%Palm oil-17%Shea butter-9%Water - 13.3 ozLye-4.9 oz Then I added 1/2 cup of ground oatmeal with 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon for color, and 1 tablespoon honey after brought to trace. poured into mold, put plastic wrap on top to keep the ash away, put lid on and wrapped tightly with towels. No fragrance or coloring. Does this sound about right? :undecided Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Carriegsxr6 Posted May 6, 2007 Share Posted May 6, 2007 just a heads up that the honey can cause a batch to over heat. be carefull when wrapping the soap too much, it may crack on top. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
