Sea Spa Salt Soap
by Zia ~ October 18th, 2006. Filed under: Soapmaking.Salt soap is supposed to create a hard bar with really creamy lather. Sadly, this is so hard that it is difficult to get much lather at all. It smells divine though, and I think I might add it in chunks to a regular soap (blue?) with the same EOs.
Still, for those who want the recipe I used:
5.5 oz PKO
5.5 oz coil
5.5 oz safflower
2.5 oz lye
6 oz water
1 TB litsea cubeba
T TB rosemary
Make sure to cut it as soon as it’s cooled down — about two hours. I think adding some castor oil might make it lather better.
**Update: This was a failure. It’s too hard and scratchy, and its bubbles are stingy. I did, however, make a regular batch and added salt at trace. That’s a nice one.
