The babassu salt bars worked out very well. I followed the recipe I posted earlier, kept my temperatures cool, and had no problems. Well, no problems until it was time to take the soaps out of the moulds. That bit wasn't as fun.
I've scented these with plumeria.
Conulations! They are looking great!
ReplyDeleteBest wishes from Germany,

Oh! They're beautiful! I'm even more excited to try making these now.
ReplyDeletewow, lovely!!!!
ReplyDeleteDo you know what could be replaced with babassu that would be similar?
They look like a slice of heaven!! I love them!
ReplyDeleteThank you so much, everyone. I can't believe I stressed so much over trying this. It's very easy.
ReplyDeleteJoanna, you can easily use coconut oil. You'll probably want to superfat the soap 15-20%. I superfatted mine at 20%.

They look gorgeous Elizabeth.
ReplyDeleteI see your German is coming along well!!

Thanks, Jo! My German has come and gone. ;) I've forgotten almost everything.
ReplyDeleteThe soaps look great. Good job.
ReplyDeleteWow! Beautiful! I don't know what happened to mine :(
ReplyDeleteThanks again!
ReplyDeleteMichelle, my first try was a complete disaster. Don't give up!
I adore the colors you chose. Great work, Elizabeth so glad it was a success :)
ReplyDeleteWow...they look really nice. What did you use for the blue color? Did you hot process these or Cold process -oven?
ReplyDeleteThank you Kim!
ReplyDeleteSarah, thank you! I used a colourant called 'indigo' because it always turns out greener than I expect. I made these using the regular cold process method. I don't think the bars gelled at all.

I've been thinking of trying some Babassu. Where do you get yours? Anywhere in the states that you know of that sells it?
ReplyDeleteThanks!!
I'm not sure where to find it in the US. From Nature with Love has it, but it's organic and very expensive. Maybe Columbus Foods? I know they carry lots of things and their prices are quite good.
