Solid Soap · NaOH · 42 g oil load · 5% superfat · 9 views · 0 saves
A more basic soap that's easier to make while living offgrid. I will make two small batches: one Lilac and one Shave & a Haircut. One with turmeric color and one with himalayan rhubarb color. Higher concentration of coconut oil to get hands and body clean. Both will have heavy poppy seed content for extra exfoliation.
