It’s a bit difficult to give you the formula because of the oils and scents and the triple-beam balance that I use
to get very accurate measurements of the ingredients.

I have all my soap batches in Excel files on my computer, and the dividing lines between the measurements
do not paste with the ingredients, so it’s very confusing to try to figure it all out.

I’ll try.

Castor oil 3 oz. (85 g)
Almond oil 7 oz. (198.4 g)
Sesame oil 7 oz. (198.4 g)
Coconut oil 19 oz. (538.6 g)
Mango Butter 10 oz. (283.5 g)
Shea Butter 10 oz. (283.5 g)
Olive oil (extra light) 15 oz. (425.2 g)

Mix and melt all the oils together in a big stew pot.

Lye 9.73 oz. (275.8 g)
Water 25 oz. (708.7 g)

Mix the water and lye until the lye dissolves.

Mix the oils and the lye solution together and add any soap scents that you like.

Oh! I forgot to say, buy a bunch of soap molds. You can get them online.

Pour the soap into the molds and allow it to set up. After about a week, unmold
the soaps and set them into an airy place to dry for another week or two.

Six weeks from the day of mixing the soaps, put each bar into a plastic sandwich bag.

There’s your soap. Be very careful with the lye and the soaps before they cure so that
you don’t get any lye burns.
