We love it.<br /><br />For a 3 Lb loaf, with 40 oz of oils:<br /><br />Olive oil 12 oz<br />Coconut oil 9 oz<br />Palm oil 15 oz<br />Grapeseed 2 oz<br />Castor oil 2 oz<br /><br />Liquid: 15.2 oz I made a tea from calendula petals, but you can use plain water.<br />Lye: 5.5 oz<br /><br />Rhassoul clay at trace: 1-2 TBL<br />Sweet Orange Essential oil: 1-2 oz NOTE: orange oil has a low flash point and if you<br />want it to survive, your batter needs to cool down before adding. I make this the HP<br />method for this reason. <br /><br />I use the palm to keep the bar hard with all those soft oils!<br />Castor is a great moisturizer and adds tremendous bubbles here!<br />I infused calendula petals in the grapeseed.<br /><br />Always run any recipe through a lye calculator if you change anything at all.<br />I personally run any recipe that I get from anyone thru a calc as well.<br /><br />Have fun soaping!<br />AnnaAnna from Natures Home Spahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04681990948195883824noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8002116478874966096.post-49446118984624148552015-05-26T19:25:38.928-07:002015-05-26T19:25:38.928-07:00This sounds delightful...I don't suppose you k...This sounds delightful...I don't suppose you kept the recipe by any chance?

We can always test it out =) If it doesn't work I'd be happy to make more!Jan Hunnicutthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05719920321429396012noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8002116478874966096.post-69376877226210113352013-06-05T10:45:08.101-07:002013-06-05T10:45:08.101-07:00Hi Jan! thanks, yes this soap smells amazing. This...Hi Jan! thanks, yes this soap smells amazing. This is a good cleanser, detox, pore tightening, collogen promoting, anti-inflammatory blend, whew....! I made it with calendula infused oil and calendula tea to bring the right amount of balance, and lend it a soothing property. <br /><br />That said, I don't know if it would specifically help your friends situation with lupis, as the lupis rash sometimes mimics acne. The lupis rash (pimples) remains in the area around the bridge of the nose.<br />If the pimples are on the cheeks they are not from the lupus, and are true pimples and this soap will help that.<br /><br />(sourse:) http://www.livestrong.com/article/553033-lupus-pimples/<br /><br />But, as you know, all natural soaps are the best your friends can do for their skin, hands down.<br /><br />thanks for asking!

I have two friends with Lupis, they have break outs that resemble pimples - I wonder if this clay would be beneficial for them to use as soap and a face wash. Any ideas?<br />Thanks, Jan =)Jan Hunnicutthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05719920321429396012noreply@blogger.com
