Ingredients

• Non-hydrogenated soybean oil, 8 oz.
• Water, 6 oz.
• Coconut oil, 4 oz.
• Sunflower oil, 4 oz.
• Potassium hydroxide, 3 oz.
• Glycerin, ½ cup
• Essential oil (your choice of fragrance)

Directions
To make the base, mix water and potassium hydroxide in a bowl. In a pan, heat coconut oil, soybean and sunflower oil till it reaches 150ºF; make sure you're stirring the liquid continuously. Once the oils are at the desired temperature, you will add the water-hydroxide mix in. Keep stirring the ingredients so they don't separate from one another.

Turn off the heat and remove the pan. Let the mixture cool down a bit. In the end, add glycerin and essential oil of your choice (amount depending on how strong you want the fragrance to be). Keep stirring and check the consistency of the soap. If it's too thick, then add some more water. Once the soap is ready, pour it in a clean bottle with pump.

Ingredients

• Castile soap, 1 bar
• Water, 6 cups
• Honey, 1 tablespoon
• Glycerin, 1 teaspoon

Directions
First, boil a cup of water in a pot. Take the bar of soap and grate it in another bowl. In an electric blender, add the grated soap and the boiled water. Set to medium speed, and blend the ingredients properly.

Now add 5 cups of room temperature water and glycerin in the blender, and turn it on again. In the end, you will add honey, and blend again. Pour the liquid into a clean bowl, and let it cool down. Once at room temperature, add few drops of essential oil, stir the liquid, and pour it in a clean bottle with pump.

To make the soap, prepare a double boiler to melt the grated soap, glycerin, water, and palm oil together. Once the ingredients have melted and mixed properly, add the vodka. Take the double boiler off the stove, and let the mixture cool down.

Once at room temperature, add all the oils‧eucalyptus, lemon, and grapefruit. Give the mixture a good stir and pour it in a clean bottle with pump.
