Feel free to substitute what you have on hand, just be sure and run the recipe through a lye calculator like the one at Brambleberry.com or Mountain Sage Lye Calc. I am going to post a link for you above in my Post to a great, short Youtube tutorial by the Bathmistress, on how to use baby food in soap, SO easy to do. She used buttermilk in her recipe, I used goats milk.<br /><br />Recipe:<br />8 oz Olive Oil (28%)<br />7 oz Coconut oil (24%)<br />7 oz Lard (24%)<br />3 oz Rapeseed oil (canola)(10.5% )<br />1 oz Sweet Almond oil (3.5% )<br />1 oz Shea Butter(3.5% )<br />1 1/2 oz Bees Wax (5.3%)<br />3.5 oz baby food carrot (1 tub)<br />7.5 oz frozen goat milk<br />1 TBL honey at trace<br />3.87 oz LYE (6% superfat)<br />.6 oz Almond Biscotti fragrance Oil<br /> from Brambleberry<br />2 TBL ground oatmeal at trace (optional)<br /><br />Note: Normally I like to keep my coconut oil no higher than 20%, but<br />like I said I used what I had on hand!<br />Have a wonderful Christmas, Anna<br />Anna from Natures Home Spahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04681990948195883824noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8002116478874966096.post-88566009123983748132012-12-22T21:06:26.238-07:002012-12-22T21:06:26.238-07:00Hi Anna- would you share this recipe with me plea...Hi Anna- would you share this recipe with me please?

The easie...Hello Jan and thanks for the kind words! The easiest way to incorporate carrot puree into your homemade soap is to use baby food! It works marvelous. So pure. <br /><br />What you do is...measure your carrot puree and count that as part of your liquids total. For this recipe I used 2 plastic containers of carrot baby food, about 7 oz I think, and the rest of the liquid was frozen goat milk. You can use water, etc. <br /><br />I added the lye crystals directly to the carrot puree, slowly, and stirred. It immediately liquifies. I dropped in a goats milk ice cube one at a time and stirred, this kept the goats milk from scalding, worked perfect. You can do this with baby food applesauce, bananas as well. I loved how the applesauce came out. <br /><br />I got the inspiration from this tutorial from Bathmistress on youtube "Carrot and Buttermilk CP Soap Part 1", sorry can't figure out how to link it. She shows you exactly how to do it in the crock pot and it works great every time!<br /><br />Let me know if you try it!<br />God is good,...AnnaAnna from Natures Home Spahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04681990948195883824noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8002116478874966096.post-4280989306941112552012-12-10T08:56:52.181-07:002012-12-10T08:56:52.181-07:00Wow, this sounds wonderful!

One soaper said not to use pumpkin pie mix with the sugar and spices only use plain pumpkin in a can...any input on that?<br />I also saw soap made with sweet potato puree. Ok, what is sweet potato puree? I'd like to try it, sounds interesting.Anna from Natures Home Spahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04681990948195883824noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8002116478874966096.post-25009860772227900172012-11-04T16:36:39.220-07:002012-11-04T16:36:39.220-07:00Looks good enough to eat!
