Still working towards a more moisturizing bar. This time, tried 5% superfatting as normal, and then an additional 5% of sweet almond oil at trace. Added cinnamon to the vanilla scent from candlescience.
Oils:
240g TJ's olive oil (60%)
100g Palm oil (25%)
60g Coconut oil (15%)
20g Sweet almond oil (+5% at trace)
Lye:
55g NaOH
152g water (distilled water)
Scent:
28g (1oz) vanilla fragrance oil (CandleScience)
12g cinnamon
Texture:
40g oatmeal
Notes:
- combined at 45C
- used blender at lowest setting, increments of 10s until trace, took about 30s total
- added texture, fragrance oil, and superfatting oil
- blended in 10s increments for an additional 30s until pudding-like consistency
- cast in saran wrap lined box
- baked at 65-70C for 3 hours, then let cool in oven for 18h
- at trace, mixture was brownish. after casting and 3h bake, turned a dark brown.
