Gradient Heart Soap - Cold Process Soap Recipe - Noir 29 Type from Vine Vida

Today I’m making gradient heart soap using a cookie cutter.

Recipe below.

***Test batching: I recommend doing a test batch if you're using a new recipe, fragrance oil, or special additives. You don't want to ruin a large batch if things don't go as planned! This is my test batch size. You can adjust yours to suit your needs.

Recipe:
Lard 50%
Coconut Oil 20%
Olive Oil 20%
Castor Oil 5%
Cocoa Butter 5%

SF: 5%

Water: I'm using a 1.7:1 Water to Lye Ratio

I soaped this batch using the hot lye to melt my butters. I usually microwave the butters for 2-3 minutes to soften a little before adding the lye water.

I forced gel for this batch in the oven. Preheat oven to 170F turn off and then put soap in.

You’ll want to cut the hearts or shapes out soon after unmolding when the soap can be cut easily. I listed the cutters I used below.

****IMPORTANT: Please run this recipe through a soap calculator for your batch size. This will give you your water/lye ratio once you input your desired ratio and batch size. You can also adjust your hard to soft oil ratio to meet your preferences. **

Fragrance: Noir 29 Vine Vida
