Will I Ever Get This Soap Perfected?! MOUNTAIN SOAP ⛰️ Natural Colorants & EO | Hand Designed

I consider this my signature soap, iconic of the beautiful Black Hills where we live. However, I feel like I haven't quite captured it yet! Stay tuned for version 5 where I think I'll get it right. I learned a LOT from this soapmaking experiment and think you might too! This is completely hand designed and all natural.

The recipe I used: Enter into soapcalc.net for your size mold.
1.7:1 distilled water:lye ratio, 5% superfat
35% olive oil
32% coconut oil
10% shea butter
10% cocoa butter
8% avocado oil
5% castor oil
1 tsp / lb of oils sodium lactate (optional to help harden bar)
Earth woodsy essential oil blend: 35% cedarwood, 10% vetiver, 25% pine, 10% balsam fir, 10% kunzea (or do more pine), 10% juniper - other ratios would work or omit anything you don't have or like
Natural Colorants and botanicals:
ground/tree trunks: Bentonite clay (and some cocoa powder would be good... just a small amount)
pine trees: green clay & spinach powder (green tea powder or something darker green would be good) - also a bit of blended rosemary needles
Hills layer: charcoal
sky layer: indigo (small amount)
Note: I make these videos for your entertainment (and my own). Please make sure you understand safe handling of lye (sodium hydroxide) before attempting any soapmaking projects. I am not responsible for the results of your soap making.
