Mix 250 g olive oil, 200 g coconut oil, 200 gr cocoa butter, 200 g shea butter and 50 g castor oil. When everything has melted and it’s a clear oil solution, add the beeswax and stir util it has melted completely. Stand aside until it has cooled down to same temperature as the oil solution. Add 2 tsp of sodium lactate to the lye solution and mix. Pour the lye soliton into the oil and mix until it gets thicker (< 2 mins) and put it into the molds.
