Ingredients:
- 6.5 oz. palm oil

- 7.5 oz. olive oil
- 1.3 oz. castor oil
- 8 oz. water
- 3.1 oz. lye
- 1 oz. of fragrance oil or essential oil blend
Preparation:
Mix your lye solution first and set it aside to cool. Measure and heat your solid oils until completely melted. Measure and add the liquid oils to the melted solid oils. When both the lye and the oils are at about 100-110 degrees, slowly pour the lye solution into the oils. Stir with a stick blender, alternating short blasts with the blender and stirring. Mix the soap until it reaches a light trace. Add the fragrance oil. Mix them into the soap thoroughly. Pour the raw soap into your mold and let it sit for 12-24 hours until it has cooled off completely and is hard enough to cut. Remove it from the mold and slice into bars. Let it cure an additional 2-4 weeks.

When mixing the lye and water, always pour the lye into the liquid, (never liquid into lye) or else you will get a volcano and get burned!
