Larry's Favorite Soap Blend
Recipe Instructions
This is my everyday go to blend for CP soap. My customers prefer heavy scented soap with long lasting scent. You should be able to soap loaf it and get ten (10) 4 ounce bars plus samples for
your records. Cost per bar should be about USD 0.96 cents a bar. One thing is to NOT over stick-blend it. Usually just between emulsified and light trace when you add your fragrances and colors. This blend does wonders on swirl colors in CP. Next time I make a batch (after the Texas elections I am working) I will upload some images
This blend gives great lather and a smooth feeling to the skin. I use a 35% water to oil weight. Cures rapidly, usually less then 4 days. YMMV
