Soap mix try 4

  • 12 oz. Coconut Oil
  • 16 oz. Olive Oil
  • 1 oz. Shea Butter
  • 12 oz. Lard
  • 8 oz. Crisco Shortening
  • 23 oz water, distilled
  • 8.6 oz. Lye
  • 6 tbl honey  
    • exfoliate items added measured prior to grinding in the coffee grinder.
      • 1 tsp lavender blooms
      • 1 tsp orange peel
      • 2 tablespoons oatmeal

Few drops of blue food dye, was going for swirl but ended up with green soap, OK still learning this part.

Made this using typical crock-pot; "hot method" for homemade lye soap.  Then poured into a homemade form lined with butcher paper.
