Lydia's first soap: Citrus-sage bar with lime zest, with slight alteration to oils.
Oils:
240g TJ's olive oil (60%)
100g Whole Food 365 virgin coconut oil (25%)
60g Crisco (15%)
Lye:
54g NaOH
152g water (tap)
Scent:
5.5g orange(sweet) essential oil
Texture:
5g dried sage
10g lime zest (one large lime's worth)
Notes:
- used blender at lowest setting increments of 15s until trace
- then added zest/sage and essential oil
- blended for an additional 30s and achieved a pudding-like thickness
Recipe:
Lime/sage mixture:

Oven curing (along with sad satsuma bar that is still not solid):
