The Beekeeper's Wife Pineapple and Oats Soap Recipe
This recipe makes about 5 pounds of soap. You can split the recipe in half or double it as needed for your mold size. You can also pour into cavity molds.
Pineapple extract is a botanical extract and not an essential oil so there is no aroma. Just pure awesome soap that is great for your skin!
Ingredients:
-
1800 gr BW Maker's Blend get it here
-
170 gr Organic Coconut Milk (Festival Brand is what I use)
-
110 gr Pineapple Extract (I got mine from Bramble Berry but they don’t carry it any more) DO NOT USE FLAVORING EXTRACT. It is not the same) I found this one: https://www.bulknaturalswholesale.com/products/pineapple-bromelain-enzyme-oil-soluble-89987
- 90 gr Colloidal Oatmeal
-
247 gr lye
-
368.5 gr water
- 5 tsp Sodium Lactate or Himalayan Salt (add this to your lye water)
- Fragrance or Essential Oil if you would like - percentage amount determined by manufacturer recommendation.
Steps
-
Measure out oils
- Measure and mix well the coconut milk, oatmeal and pineapple extract (and fragrance if using).
- Carefully add lye water to the oils.
- Blend just to emulsion..
- Pour the milk, oatmeal and extract mixture in and gently mix until very light trace.
- Pour into your mold(s
Notes:
- You can reduce your wait time by making your lye solution with ice instead of water!
- If you want to pipe a design on the top like I did, just pour off some of the batter into a piping bag. Wait for the right consistency then pipe your design. I use a Wilton M tip.
- Add a garnish of oats on top to decorate.
- This soap might be a tad soft so you may want to wait a day or so before unmolding. It is worth the wait!! The lather is so dreamy.
Have fun and I hope you enjoy this recipe!
