Mint Swirl Avocado
Oil Soap Recipe - Cold Process
37 ounces soybean oil
24 ounces coconut oil
16 ounces olive oil
8 ounces avocado oil
12 ounces lye crystals
24 ounces cold water
Temperatures between 90 and 100 degrees.
Add at light trace:
1 oz. spearmint essential oil (2 T.)
1/2 oz. peppermint essential oil (1 T.)
1/4 oz. eucalyptus essential oil (1/2 T.)
I just bought my peppermint and eucalyptus oils in the pharmacy
section of a local market...pretty reasonable there compared
to local sources of EOs like the health food store. If you
mail order from a place like A Garden Eastward, you can probably
beat these. After mixing in the essential oils at light trace
and while the soap is thickening, but still rather pourable
pour most of the soap into your large mold (this recipe didn't
trace overly quick with the stick blender like some have).
Leave about 1/8 or 1/10th of it in the pan.
To this, I added these, which were being kept warm and melted
in a small measuring cup on the stove:
1/2 blue/green Crayola crayon
1/2 forest green Crayola crayon
A little bit of the original oils
Mix the coloring in thoroughly and well (I got a few bubbles
in the soap while doing this with the blender) and drizzle
this soap over the white soap in the mold, distributing it
evenly over the top in back and forth motions. Then, take
your spatula or a knife and run it back and forth through
the soap, first one direction and then either in an opposite
direction or on a diagonal. Try to reach the bottom and sides
of your mold while doing this.
