How to make 100% coconut oil soap - Simple cold process soap making.

In this video I show you how to make 100 % coconut oil soap. This is a very simple, unscented cold process soap great for beginners. It’s made with a 20 % superfat to counteract the high cleansing effect of coconut oil.
You will only need 3-4 ingredients to make this soap. One of the ingredients is lye, please be careful and wear safety equipment when handling lye and don’t breathe in the fumes.

This soap needs a 4-6 week cure before it's ready to be used, I forgot to write that in the video :)

This recipe is calculated with http://soapee.com/calculator

Total batch weight: 707 g

500 g coconut oil

124.6 g distilled water ( 37% lye concentration)

optional: 10 g citric acid

Citric acid will react with lye and neutralize some of it. If you want to keep the superfat at 20% the lye amount have to be adjusted. 10 g citric acid neutralizes 6 g of lye.

if using citric acid:

79.3 g lye

if not using citric acid:

73.3 g lye
