Break the Rules Recipe Card

Break the Rules Soap - Cold Process Recipe by Leila Gaines

GOAL: The goal here is to have a 2-oil soap with outrageous lather and no-less outrageous skin pampering.

Ingredients: 1500g batch - makes approximately 12 bars

Coconut Oil - 1095g (73%)
Cocoa Butter - 375g (25%)
Frozen goats milk - 500g (frozen in baggies)
NaOH - 238g
Fragrance oil - 45g of Bramble Berry's Pearberry (available at www.brambleberry.com)

While Pearberry is very well-behaved, it might hasten things a bit. If you are using the above proportions of liquid to lye, work quickly! If you prefer to work more slowly, add 150g of goat milk or water to your lye bath.

Notes on Cocoa butter: cocoa butter can form white streaks in soap unless it is properly tempered.

Break the Rules Soap - 2 - Cold Process Recipe by Leila Gaines

Directions:

1. Melt your cocoa butter and hold at 130F for 20 minutes. Melt coconut oil. Cool all oils to 100F.
2. Break up chunks of goatmilk into your container, and place container in an icewater bath. Add your lye little by little, stirring constantly. You do not want to scorch the milk (which will turn orange and smell disgusting). You also want to keep things as cool as possible, hence the icebath. Keep temperature to about 90-95F
3. Quickly add lye solutions to cooled oils. Buzz with stickblender no more than 3 seconds, hand stir to very light trace. Add fragrance, stir quickly and pour into molds.
4. If you used above proportions of milk to lye, you should unmold no more than 8 hours after pouring. If you added more liquid, wait about 12 hours. In any event, unmold and cut as soon as it's cool. Do not insulate your mold.
