Cedarwood & Baking Soda Soap Recipe for Cleansing & Deodorizing Skin

https://soapdelinews.com/2014/01/diy-handmade-cedarwood-baking-soda-soap-recipe.html#google_vignette

Normally, it’s not advisable to use a 0% superfat when making soap. That is, of course, unless you’re making a 100% coconut oil soap for use as a laundry stain remover or a solid dish soap. This is because it leaves room for error when making the soap. There’s the potential for your soap recipe to end up lye heavy if mistakes are made. Therefore, you’ll normally see most cold process soap recipes with a superfat of at least 5%. Superfat not only compensates in the case of error, however. It also gives the bar more skin conditioning properties. This is because superfatting soap allows extra oils in the final soap bars to remain unsaponified.

Baking soda reverses the saponification process to some extent. Therefore, despite using a 0% superfatted soap recipe with baking soda, the resulting soap will in fact have some superfat as a result. Even without adding it in. If you’re formulating your own baking soda soap recipe using the cold process soap making method, I recommend a recipe that creates a hard bar, with a higher cleansing percentage. You should also discount the water to at least 30% (or less) of the oil weight. And, more importantly, always add the baking soda once you reach trace. Never before. Otherwise, you run a high risk of a failed batch.

Cedarwood & Baking Soda Soap Recipe

Yield: 47.3 oz. (1,342.12 grams) before the cure

Ingredients:

3.2 oz. / 90.72 grams Castor Oil (10%)
6.4 oz. / 181.44 grams Cocoa Butter (20%)
8.95 oz. / 253.73 grams 76° Melt Point Coconut Oil (27.97%)
9.3 oz. / 263.65 grams Pomace Olive Oil (29.06%)
4.15 oz. / 117.65 grams Sunflower Oil (12.97%)

9.6 fl. oz. / 272.16 grams distilled water (30% of oil weight)
4.74 oz. / 134.43 grams lye/sodium hydroxide (0% superfat)

2 oz. baking soda
2 teaspoons white kaolin clay
1 teaspoon walnut shell powder, or to suit
1/16 teaspoon woodland green pigment powder
1 oz. / 28.35 grams cedarwood essential oil (3.13% of oil weight)

Baking Soda Soap  Recipe Making Notes:

It’s important to note that 3.13% is the suggested maximum, skin safe usage rate for cedarwood essential oil in a soap recipe. Therefore it is important, should you make changes, not to increase this amount when making my baking soda soap recipe. (You can learn more about the maximum usage rate of popular essential oils in soap here.)

My baking soda soap recipe will fit inside this silicone loaf mold or another similar mold. You can also use two sets of silicone molds with individual cavities. However, you won’t be able to pull off the pencils lines without using a loaf mold.

Follow basic cold process soap making instructions to make my cold process baking soda soap recipe. You should make sure you are not using any utensils or equipment that contain aluminum. All containers should be heat safe. In addition, take all safety precautions including wearing protective clothing (long sleeves), gloves and goggles.

Instructions:

Prepare the lye-water solution first. To do this, weigh out the lye into a heat safe container. Then measure out the distilled water into separate heat safe container, such as a heat safe pitcher.

Slowly pour the lye into the water. Then stir until the lye dissolves completely. Set the lye-water aside to cool.

Now, use a digital scale to weigh the olive, castor, coconut, and sunflower oils, as well as the cocoa butter. Combine these soap making fats in a stainless steel pot. Then heat on the stovetop over medium to medium-low heat until all oils have melted. Once fully melted, remove from heat.

In the meantime, weigh out the baking soda, clay and the cedarwood essential oil into separate containers. Measure out the walnut shell powder and pigment powder. Set aside.

Once the lye-water and melted soap making oils reach about 100° F, you’re ready to mix the soap batter.

Start by adding the kaolin clay to the melted soap making oils. Mix into clay into the oils using a stick blender.

Once the clay is fully incorporated into the oils, slowly pour the lye-water into the oils. Mix the lye-water and oils together with a stick blender until you reach a light trace trace. Then stir in both the cedarwood essential oil and the baking soda. Mix to combine.

Now pour roughly one third of the soap into the loaf mold. Smooth the soap out in the mold using a spatula. Then lightly dust the soap in the mold with walnut shell powder so that the entire surface is covered.

Once you’ve added the walnut shell powder, add the green pigment powder to the remaining soap in the pot. Mix well using the stick blender. 

Finally, pour the remaining soap batter from the pot into the mold over the walnut shell powder and the first layer of soap. Even out the soap using the spatula. If desired, cover and insulate for 24 hours.

Unmold the baking soda soap 24 to 36 hours later. Then cut the soap into bars. Allow the baking soda soap bars to cure a minimum of four weeks prior to use, for best results. (Cold process soaps will fully saponify within about 72 hours. However, a full cure not only makes the soap harder, but also increases the lather and final performance of the soap.)

Tip: For a harder soap with a lower superfat, reduce the amount of baking soda called for in the recipe to 1 oz.

Baking Soda Soap

再一次嘗試加入蘇打粉的冷製皂。參考部落格：https://soapdelinews.com

蘇打粉量約 6%，打到 trace 時加入，為了使蘇打粉更細緻，先用水混合：21g baking soda+10g distill water (deduct from the water used in lye). Trace 後加入精油，攪拌，再加入蘇打粉水，繼續攪拌至更稠，然後入模。

 這是最近一系列月桂果皂的最後一批，剩下的月桂果油約佔總油量的 33%。

20% Laurel and More Other Oils

 把剩下的月桂果油分兩份，這一份做 20% 月桂果油皂，紀錄一下皂的圖片和配方，方便日後查看。

30% Laurel Fruit Oil and Cupuacu Butter

珍貴的月桂果油所剩無幾，除了仿阿勒坡古皂外，也來加點別的油脂試試。這次加了古布阿蘇脂。

混合油和鹼液的溫度在52杜（因為加了

膠化果程順利。

葡萄籽油手工皂

因為是幫朋友把過期的葡萄籽油用完，所以沒有再添加太多其他的油，也因為我的油幾乎都是 USDA核准的有機油，加到過期的油裡有些浪費。

If you've been making your own cold process soap and using it in your shower, how about using your soap as a shampoo?

Many people use their cold process soap as a shampoo bar as well. But hair is different than skin, so you need to do a few things differently in order to have the best results. Most soap makers recommend:

1. Formulating your recipe differently—both in terms of the oils chosen, but in the additives and superfat percentage
2. Using a vinegar or citric acid rinse
3. Knowing that some people's hair just doesn't work well with real soap—and being okay with going back to a standard surfactant-based shampoo. There are so many variants, like the hardness of the water where you live and your particular hair type, that they just don't work for everyone.

Homemade Shampoo Recipes

First, for the best results on your hair, there are a few changes you can make to your regular soap recipe that will help your soap work better on hair. Castor oilmakes great shampoo, as do the softer oils like avocado, canola, and almond.

Here are three recipes to get you started. Feel free to customize them or use similar oils that you may have on hand. (For example, you can easily substitute palm kernel for the coconut, or rice bran for the olive, or lard for the palm.)

Included are the percentages of each ingredient to make a 2 lb. batch of soap. They can be scaled up or down according to your needs.

Note: The superfat/lye discount is calculated at 6 percent for these recipes. Some people prefer a low (3 percent or so) superfat in their shampoo bars, others prefer a high (10 to 15 percent) superfat in their recipes. Give 6 percent a try and then adjust up or down depending on your preference. Be sure to always run your recipe through a lye calculator! These recipes will still all probably take at least 48 hours to harden in your soap mold.

Basic, Mild Shampoo Recipe

1. 25 percent coconut oil
2. 25 percent olive oil
3. 20 percent castor oil
4. 15 percent canola oil
5. 15 percent palm oil

Light Cleansing Recipe

1. 30 percent coconut oil
2. 25 percent olive oil
3. 25 percent castor oil
4. 10 percent canola oil
5. 10 percent palm oil

Luxury Shampoo Recipe

1. 25 percent coconut oil
2. 20 percent olive oil
3. 20 percent castor oil
4. 10 percent canola oil
5. 10 percent palm oil
6. 10 percent avocado oil
7. 5 percent jojoba oil

To make these soaps, follow basic soap making instructions. The amount of water in these recipes are low so that they will harden quicker in the molds. The high percentage of soft oils in the recipes can make them take a while to harden in the mold.

You'll want to make sure to add the salt and the sugar to the lye water. The salt helps the soap to get harder quicker and the sugar helps boost the lathering ability of the soap.

Rinse

Because of the high pH of cold process soap, most people use a slightly acidic rinse on their hair after using a shampoo bar. The high pH raises the cuticle of the hair follicle, making it more prone to damage. The rinse helps lay it back down.

You can make the rinse out of either:

1. 1 cup vinegar (apple cider or white) to 2 cups water or
2. 1 tbsp. citric acid powder to 3 cups water

Give shampoo bars a try. Some people rave about them; some people like them, but prefer a traditional shampoo.
