We recommend that you always use a soap calculator to calculate the lye/water ratio for your recipes and formulas. We have several soap recipes here for you to enjoy. These recipes were formulated and written by Sally Trew.
Basic Soap Recipe: This is a good basic recipe to start with. It's simple and yet makes a really nice bar of soap. Set the super fat to 8% Castor Oil 25% Coconut Oil 10% Palm oil 65% Please use the SoapCalc to calculate your water/lye solution.

Weigh your water in the first small plastic container. Weigh your lye and add it to the water, stir well and set aside. Repeat this 2 more times. Now weigh your oils, one batch at a time. When oils and lye have cooled you will mix the first layer, bring it to trace, pour. When it begins to set up it is time to mix the next layer batch. Repeat. Cover top with waxed paper and wait 2 days before you unmold. For this batch I set the superfat at 8%. Be sure and run the recipe thru the xoapcalc before you begin. It is also handy to print it out. This recipe is for a 5 pound mold. Each layer will use 18 oz of oil so you will put in 18 in the soapcalc for total weigh of oils. Below is the recipe for each layer. Distilled Water 6.8 oz ( 193.9 grams) Sodium Hydroxide 2.4 oz ( 67.3 grams)
Castor oil (18% ) 3.2 oz (91.9 grams) Cocoa butter (10%) 1.8 oz (51 grams) Coconut oil 76 deg (11%) 2 oz (56.13 grams) Olive oil (6%) 1.1 oz (30.6 grams) Palm oil (55%) 9.9 oz (280.6 grams) Hardness 43 Cleansing 8 Conditioning 54 Lather 76 Iodine 55 INS 147
Goober Soap with Peanut Oil ( my favorite recipe ) Castor Oil 12% Mango Butter 8% Coconut Oil 17% Cocoa Butter 5% Peanut Oil 15% Palm Oil 43% Be sure and use the Soapcalc to get your own water/lye solution. Hardness 44 Cleansing 12 Conditioning 53 Lather 67 Iodine 54 INS 152 Teenage Acne Soap - This bar must sit and cure for at least 3 months before it is used. Before you start, this soap will get HARD in the mold very quickly and needs to be cut 6-8 hours AFTER it is poured into the mold. Be sure to wear protective gloves while you unmold and cut because the lye will still be active. Coconut Oil 60% Cocoa Butter 10% Palm Oil 30% Use the Soapcalc for your own water/lye solution.
