Slowly add lye to water stirring as pour. Add babassu oil, sunflower oil, argan oil, neem oil, castor oil and beeswax. Heat on stovetop until all ingredients are liquid.

Using stick blender, mix until light trace is reached. To soap batter, add fragrance/color mixture and honey. Blend. Pour soap into molds. Tap molds onto counter to release bubbles. After at least 24 hours, remove soap from mold. Allow soap to cure for 4-6 weeks. REACHES THE TRACE QUICKLY!!!! This luxurious facial bar is packed with ingredients fit for face. Argan oil, sunflower oil and mango butter were chosen for their comedogenic rating of zero, meaning they will not clog pores. The recipe also uses real honey and an essential oil and fragrance blend that smells of sweetened honey touched with lemon, lavender, bitter almond and ginger. This is an advanced cold process soap recipe that reaches trace quickly.
