This made a good bar of soap. All the coconut oil is a bit drying, so it makes a great “dirty hand” soap or very good when grated for making your own laundry detergent. Not a face soap. But, okay for body soap. Smells nice.

NOTES: Soap seized on me either because the temperatures were to different between the fats and the lye or because I over blended with stick blender. Also possible it had reaction to essential oil. Probably would have retained more scent if it hadn’t have seized. I think I did the temperatures wrong. The oil was a good tried brand for soap making. I didn’t have to blend as much as I did. It was just so damn fun. Whoops.

Lye brands: Roebie Crystal or Red Devil are good ones. You are looking for Sodium Hydroxide and nothing else. Check Lowes or Home Depot. I think I got the Roebie brand at Lowes.
