Add FO and 1 tsp. of kaolin clay PPO to the castor oil about an hour ahead of time to help "stick" the fragrance. Make Faux Seawater - 1 quart of warm water, 1 tbsp. of sea salt and 1 tbsp. of baking soda. Make up a quart at a time and store in refrigerator. Mix lye solution with the seawater and let cool. Warm oils to 100-110 F. Combine when lye and oils are within 10 F of each other. SB on and off until emulsion (5 - 25 minutes, depending on grade of olive oil) Pour in mold and tap to remove bubbles. Spritz lightly with alcohol. Cover with plastic wrap. Insulate. Leave soap undisturbed 12-24 hours. UNMOLD in 12-24 hours, CUT Day 2. CURE 6 weeks, the longer the better the soap. For color, infuse calendula petals (yellow) or bay leaves (green) in oil ahead of time. Strain. Use up to 40% in the batch to add mildness and color.
