Old Fashioned Lard Bar Soap
Solid Soap · NaOH · 100 g oil load · 5% superfat · 3 views · 0 saves
This soap provides a low lather and is very gentle. This is a very slow-moving recipe. Blend (until emulsion), rest (walk away for ten minutes), & repeat blend and rest pattern until the batter reaches a medium-thick trace before pouring into mold. This is not a soap making tutorial. This is merely a recipe. It is the responsibility of anyone attempting this recipe to understand and apply safe soap making practices.
