Jasmine Homemade Soap Recipe

Jasmine Homemade Soap Recipe

Ingredients
  • 20 oz. coconut oil
  • 10 oz. olive oil
  • 9 oz. distilled water
  • 4.78 oz. 100 percent pure lye
  • 20 to 40 drops of jasmine essential oil
  • dried jasmine flowers
Directions
  1. Set the slow cooker to low, add the coconut oil to the slow cooker.
  2. As it melts, prepare the lye solution. Slowly add the lye to the water. With a spatula, carefully stir the solution as you add the lye. It’ll become hot and release fumes. Set aside the lye solution. Let cool for 15 to 20 minutes.
  3. Check the oils. If the coconut oil has completely melted, add the olive oil. Stir well.
  4. Once the oils have reached 120 to 130°F (49 to 54°C), place the immersion blender on the side of the slow cooker.
  5. Gently pour in the lye to avoid splashing. Stir slowly.
  6. Set the blender to low. Stir the mixture, moving in circles. Keep the blender immersed to avoid air bubbles.
  7. Continue blending and stirring for 10 to 15 minutes, or until the soap has reached trace. This is when the oils and lye solution have thickened and look like pudding.
  8. Cover the slow cooker. Cook on low for 50 minutes. If the mixture bubbles, stir it gently.
  9. Turn off the slow cooker. Let cool until the mixture drops below 180°F (82°C). Add jasmine essential oils. Mix well.
  10. Pour the mixture into the soap mold. Smooth the top with a spatula. Tap the mold onto your work surface to eliminate air bubbles. Top with dried jasmine flower.
  11. Allow the soap to cure in the mold for 24 hours. Carefully remove the soap out of the mold. Cut into bars.
