Cold-Process Coconut Oil Soap

I love this recipe! It took a bit longer and it will have to cure 4-6 weeks but it is beautifully white and I'm told it will make a super sudsy very hard bar of soap.

16.5 oz coconut oil
2.4 oz lye
4.8 oz distilled water

 Mix water and lye to dissolve. Let cool to about 110 degrees.

While the lye solution is cooling, melt the coconut oil in crock pot on low heat.  (Don't let it get over 100 degrees). Turn off crock pot.

Slowly pour lye solution into oil and blend until well mixed.

Add essential oils, if wanted.

Mix to light trace.

Stir in any additions, if wanted.

Pour into mold lined with parchment paper.

Cool and let harden for 12-18 hours. Remove from molds and cut into bars.

Let sit in a cool, dry place for 4-6 weeks to cure.
