Cold Process Soap Recipe with Dolce Fragrance Oil

Create a beautifully scented and moisturizing cold process soap bar with a simple recipe that's perfect for beginners.

Ingredients:

• Olive Oil: 500g

• Coconut Oil: 300g

• Shea Butter: 200g

• Lye (Sodium Hydroxide): 140g

• Distilled Water: 300g

• Dolce Fragrance Oil: 20g (2%)

Instructions:

1. Prepare Your Workstation Wear safety goggles, gloves, and a long-sleeved shirt. Ensure your workspace is well-ventilated.

2. Make the Lye Solution Carefully add the lye to the distilled water in a heat-resistant container. Stir until the lye is fully dissolved. The solution will heat up. Set it aside to cool to around 40-45°C.

3. Melt the Oils In a separate pot, melt the solid oils (coconut oil and shea butter). Once melted, add the liquid olive oil.

4. Combine the Phases Ensure both the lye solution and the oil mixture have cooled to a similar temperature (around 40-45°C). Slowly and carefully pour the lye solution into the oil mixture, stirring continuously with an immersion blender.

5. Bring to Trace Blend the mixture in short bursts until it reaches a medium trace, which is a consistency similar to pudding.

6. Add the Fragrance Add the Dolce Fragrance Oil and any desired colorants. Blend briefly to incorporate.

7. Pour and Mold Pour the soap batter into your prepared mold. Tap the mold gently to release any air bubbles.

8. Insulate and Cure Cover the mold and insulate it with a towel to allow the soap to go through gel phase. After 24-48 hours, the soap should be firm enough to cut into bars. Allow the bars to cure in a cool, dry place for 4-6 weeks to ensure a mild and long-lasting bar.

Application Recommendations:

• Safety First Always wear proper safety gear when handling lye. Never add water to lye; always add lye to water.

• Fragrance Percentage The recipe uses a 2% fragrance load, which is a great starting point for a strong scent in cold process soap. You can adjust this to your preference within the recommended range of 1-2%.

• Troubleshooting This fragrance oil is known for its stability and should not cause acceleration, but always have your mold ready before adding the fragrance.

• Testing Always do a small test batch to ensure the fragrance behaves as you expect it to with your specific oils and recipe.
