Did a bit of an experiment with 100% coconut wine soap.
Boiled the alcohol out of the soap then cooked and added at trace after using a 50-50 lye solution, much as with milk.
The wine soap went very brown.
Traced quite fast
Then the whole thing got quite warm and through get phase.
Used lemongrass and geranium eo so the soap doesn’t stink but might be a bit too much scent.
Still happy with the result. But will try adding some pink clay next time.
Also restocked salt bars and zebra soap. All went well.
For the zebra, maybe petitgrain is a bit strong
But the double batch worked well:
1. Mixed oils and lye to just emulsification
2. Taken 1350g each into 2 containers
3 added charcoal to one- bar mixed
4. Added diluted TD and oatmeal to the other- mixed with whisk
5. Added eo to each
6. Pounded.
7. Repeated for next loaf. This time I added eo before splitting the batter, it actually helped thinning it out.
