Honey Bastille Baby Soap
Solid Soap · NaOH · 100 g oil load · 5% superfat · 5 views · 0 saves
Bastille soap is the perfect soap for people with sensitive skin and babies too. Here's my recipe for Honey Bastille Soap using the Hot Process Soap Making method. It's scented with Vanilla, and is just a beautiful soap! Bastille soap is a close relative of Castile soap, which is the traditional pure olive oil soap--no other oils are used at all. Castile soap is incredibly softening and good for your skin, due to the olive oil, however, it doesn't lather very well, and it requires a VERY long curing time.
