Shampoo Bar (HP)

Shampoo Bar


10-12 bars

1000 gram (2 lb) mold




Fats Mixture:

  • 33 oz coconut oil 


Lye Solution:

  • 12.54 oz distilled water
  • 5.44 oz lye (sodium hydroxide)


Essential Oil Blend:   

  • 1 oz tea tree, peppermint, or rosemary


Step 1:  Fats Mixture

  • Set crock pot on LOW setting. 
  • Measure fats and put put into crock pot. 
  • Melt down the solid fats (15-30 min).
  • Once liquified, set crock pot to KEEP WARM setting.


Step 2: Lye Solution

  1. Measure water into glass container.  
  2. Measure lye in separate glass container.
  3. Take water & lye outside with wooden spoon.
  4. Pour lye slowly INTO water and mix well.  
  5. This mixture will be HOT.
  6. Let sit for 5-10 min until lye water is clear and not cloudy.


Step 3: 

  1. Gently pour lye solution into fats in crock pot.  
  2. Use immersion blender for about 8 min to mix to light trace (looks like pudding with a gentle peak).



Step 4:

  1. Put the lid on crock pot and heat on KEEP WARM setting. 
  2. Check every 15 min stirring soap mixture down occasionally with wooden spoon to keep from overflowing.
  3. Soap mixture will reach first fold (the mixture grows and folds into itself).
  4. Within 45-60 min, soap mixture should reach a translucent waxy stage (looks kind of like vaseline)


Step 5:

  1. Once to this stage, take some soap mixture off of your wooden spoon and roll it between 2 fingers. It should feel like warm wax.
  2. ZAP test: Once small wax ball is cool enough, touch to the tip of your tongue.  If you feel a “zap” on your tongue, heat another 15 min and try again until there’s no “zap.”
  3. Can use a pH test strip instead; pH should be between 8-10.

  

Step 6:

  1. Turn off the crock pot, and allow to cool down to 140 degrees with the lid off.
  2. Pour essential oils into soap mixture and use wooden spoon to stir.  


Step 8:

  1. Use spatula to pour mixture into 2 POUND soap mold.  
  2. Bang soup mold on countertop to remove air pockets.
  3. Press mixture down well with spatula completely fill-in corners of mold.


Step 9:

  1. Let cool completely for several hours. 
  2. After soap is completely cooled down, take it out of the mold and cut.
  3. Allow hot process soap to cure for at least 1 day before using, but will last longer if allowed to cure longer.
