Recipe for one liter of coconut-olive oil soap mixture: 800 g organic olive oil 200 g organic coconut oil 335 g distilled water 137 g sodium hydroxide (for making the caustic soda) Preparation: Weigh the lye in the container with rubber gloves and safety glasses. If necessary, use the plastic spoon to measure out the amount precisely. Weigh the distilled water as well. Don't forget to tare the containers first! Mix the lye. Leave the lye with the container in the cool water until it has cooled to around 23 degrees. Put the coconut and olive oil in the pot and let it melt over a low heat. The temperature of the oil should be around 38 - 40 degrees. Pour the lye, which has cooled to 23 degrees, into the fats. Line the work surface with newspaper. Now mix the whole thing with the hand blender for at least 5 minutes. Make sure that the hand blender always stays in the liquid when the blender is running so that the soapy water doesn't splash around your ears. The soap mixture is ready when it no longer foams and has a creamy consistency, like that of a warm pudding. Now pour the soap mixture into the prepared containers. After filling, cover the top of the soap mixture with a small piece of cling film and place in a cool, airy place. The soap is then left to rest there for 24 hours. Use a large knife to cut slices approx. 1.5 cm thick and then halve the knife again. Store the pieces uncovered in a dry, airy place to harden. You can use the first bar of soap after at least 6 weeks.
