*** RECIPE ***
Olive Oil - 30%
Coconut Oil - 26%
Shea Butter - 15%
Avocado Oil - 9%
Cocoa Butter - 7%
Sunflower Oil - 7%
Castor Oil - 6%
Superfat - 5%
I used the milk-in-oil method for this recipe. This method calls for equal amounts of water, milk, and sodium hydroxide. The water and sodium hydroxide are mixed together as usual, while the milk is added to the melted oils. I always add a bit more water (14g) just to make sure my sodium hydroxide completely dissolves.
Water = same amount as your calculated sodium hydroxide + 14 grams
Coconut Milk = same amount as your calculated sodium hydroxide
To calculate your sodium hydroxide for your specific recipe amounts, you can use a soap calculator like the one at Majestic Mountain Sage:

Rose Clay - bit.ly/2Nh5CUB
2 teaspoons hydrated with distilled water
I used 1 teaspoon of the hydrated rose clay per cup of soap
Activated Hardwood Charcoal - amzn.to/2tOidX7 (Amazon affiliate link)
Activated Bamboo Charcoal - bit.ly/2tJwnsz
2 teaspoons mixed with 1 tbsp sunflower oil
I used 2 teaspoons of this mixture per cup of soap
White Kaolin Clay - amzn.to/2Nh6Tel (Amazon affiliate link)
1 tablespoon hydrated with distilled water
I used 1.5 teaspoons of the hydrated kaolin clay per cup of soap
Essential Oil Blend:
Lavender - 5 parts
Tea Tree - 1 part
Peppermint - 0.5 parts

DISCLAIMER: I make these videos to share my own personal methods and techniques for how I make cold process soap. These videos are not intended as tutorials for beginners. These videos are intended for those who already have an understanding of cold process soap making. Cold process soapmaking has many variables and involves working with sodium hydroxide (NaOH, also referred to as lye). Lye and raw soap can damage your eyes and burn your skin. When making soap, you should already know and practice lye safe handling procedures and always wear safety gear. While I hope you find watching my videos helpful or entertaining, so many variables go into making soap and even the smallest change can greatly affect the results; therefore, I am not liable or responsible for your results if you try any of the methods or techniques that I use in my videos.

Thank you💖💖💖
I need to order the charcoal to make this. Thank you.
ETA: Was feeling all happy because I ordered the charcoal and just realized that I don't have a 'hanger' tool. Guess a visit to Home Depot is in order.
LadyGecko I made mine out of a wire hanger and clear tubing. I got the tubbing at a beermaking supply store near me, but I you can also get it at a pet store.
Absolutely gorgeous!💗
Gorgeous 😍 Great job on the soap and video editing!
