Taking a Walk in the Bushby Helen Brosche Ingredients * 18 oz olive oil * 15 oz grapeseed oil * 11 oz palm oil * 10 oz water * 6 oz lemon juice * 5.8 oz lye * 4 oz Australian leatherwood beeswax * 10 ml lemon eucalyptus essential oil * 1 ml ti-tree essential oil Method This recipe was made using CP. The lemon juice gets added to the water before the lye gets mixed in. There is no water discount, and the soap is superfatted to 5%. The essential oils I added at trace. I had hoped that the lovely smell from the beeswax would blend with the essential oils to form a slightly sweeter scent, but the lemon eucalyptus took over. I use cardboard milk cartons as moulds which explains the slightly wonky shape of my soaps - the cardboard tends to bulge out when I fill the carton. The benefit however is that I can just rip the mould off the soap, throw it away and know that I've got another mould sitting in the fridge. From: www.soapnaturally.org/soap_recipes/helenb4r.html
