Donna's Bar Soap
Solid Soap · NaOH · 35 g oil load · 5% superfat · 3 views · 0 saves
I let the soap cool below 180 degrees and then added the lemon and spearmint oils and took out about 3/4 - 1 cup and added 1 tbs cocoa powder. I Laid down a layer of plain soap, then the layer w/ cocoa powder and topped another layer of plain soap on top. Original recipe had 5% super fat that I did not add, so batch turned out crumbly. Next morning I separated the layers, crumbled the pieces up and put in two separate crockpots , added 1/4c water in large main color and 1/8c in cocoa colored mix and rewarmed on low 30 minutes.
