Notes Instructions: Measure the ingredients - Check the "Do not forget" section bellow for the rest of the additives. Prepare the tools you will be using: A soap mold, a hand-mixer, a pot (that can take at least twice the total amount of this recipe), a spatula If you are using Citric Acid or Honey, dilute it in the water first Add the Lye to the Water (never the other way around!) In a pot on the lit stove, add the Lard and bring it to 50°C to 70°C. Maintain this temperature Once the lard is melted, add the Lye solution and mix using the hand-mixer After 30-60 seconds (after a very thick trace and before the expansion of the recipe), add the Sodium Lactate and mix If necessary, cover the pot in order to concentrate the heat and accelerate the gel phase After the gel phase is completed add the Mango Butter and mix After adding the Mango Butter, add the Yogurt and mix Turn off the heat and place the soap into the mold After 24h to 48h remove the soap from the mold and let it cure for 2 to 4 weeks Do not forget to add to the lye solution: Citric Acid: 1,5% of the oil total. Dissolve the citric acid in the water before adding the lye Or, Honey: 1 Tablespoon. Mix with a little bit of water first to make it thinner. Add the honey directly to the cool/room temp lye solution upfront. (This is so that soap scum isn't formed and the soap is more soluble in hard water.) to add to mixture: Sodium Lactate: 3 to 4% total oil weight. Add 30-60 seconds after mixing the oils and lye solution, after a very thick trace and before the expansion of the recipe. Or Sodium Chloride: use 0,05-1%. Both ingredients help with the fluidity and the hardness of the soap. to add after the cooking process: 3% Mango Butter: Our superfat. Yogurt: 2-5% (optional): Add room temperature yogurt after the cooking process has completed, but before other additives (colorants). This helps with the fluidity of the soap.
