To continue on my love of lavendar and all the time I have been spending looking on how to grow and care for lavendar, I came across what seems to be a fairly simple recipe on how to make your own lavendar olive oil soap. Tools needed: candy thermometer cheese grater double boiler/crock pot molds for soap rubber spatula small plastic needlepoint canvas wooden spoon a quality scale (a digital one if possible)
Ingredients for soap: 16 oz. grated pure olive oil soap ( use castile soap if purchasing) 12 oz. distilled water or rain water 2 oz. powdered goats milk 1 oz. cocoa butter, melted small handfull lavendar pods lavendar essential oil
1. Place grated soap, water, goats milk and cocoa butter into double boiler or crock pot. Slow cook ingredients until the thermometer reads 150-160 degrees. 2. Mix in the lavendar buds/pods and essential oil (put in as many drops as desired for a scent plus a few extra drops as scent fades a little while drying) begore putting into molds. 3. Molds can be small yogurt containers, old tupperware or whatever you would like. Make sure that it is flexible and easy to pry out soap. *Hint: put molds into the freezer to speed up coolings and easy release of soap.* 4. Place solidified soap in a warm, dry space, making sure there is proper ventilation underneath the soap by using the needlepont canvas under the soap. 5. Turn soap daily to help keep its proper shape. 6. After a month, the soap should be ready .
I thought that this would make a great gift idea or for personal use. The ingredients are all natural and the tools we already have on hand or are easy enough to get. Enjoy!
