70.00 oz 76 degree coconut oil
12 oz Lye (Sodium Hydroxide) - 4% Superfat
23.10 oz distilled water
Lavender essential oil 30/32 to suit - appx 1 oz EO per 36 oz oil as a general rule - I used 1.75 oz
Follow cold process soap making instructions to make the soap. I mixed the soap in a 8 lb empty bucket that palm oil came in. Let soap cook, or set up and remove from the bucket. Mine was difficult to remove from the plastic bucket, I had to chip away at it. Maybe you would want to let set up in soap molds instead. Then I put it in an old food processor to shred into pellets.
I hope hubby doesn't mind the fresh smell of lavender on his clothing!
