Recipe: Deluxe Tobacco Caramel Cold Process Soap
Create a luxury bar of soap that cures with the deep, intoxicating aroma of Tobacco Caramel, featuring excellent scent retention.
Ingredients:
-
Three hundred grams Melted and Cooled Base Oils (e.g., Olive Oil, Coconut Oil, Shea Butter)
-
One hundred and ten grams Distilled Water
-
Forty grams Sodium Hydroxide (Lye)
-
Ten grams (approx. 1% concentration) Fragrance Oil "Tobacco Caramel"
Instructions for Preparation:
First Step: Carefully mix the Sodium Hydroxide into the Distilled Water in a well-ventilated area, following all safety precautions. Allow the lye solution to cool to approximately forty-five degrees Celsius (45°C).
Second Step: Gently combine the melted base oils (also cooled to about 45°C) with the lye solution. Blend the mixture using an immersion blender until it reaches "trace" (a thick, pudding-like consistency).
Third Step: Weigh out the Fragrance Oil "Tobacco Caramel". Slowly add the oil to the soap batter, stirring vigorously by hand or with brief pulses of the immersion blender to ensure thorough dispersion.
Fourth Step: Pour the scented soap batter into your prepared mold. Cover the mold and insulate it for 24-48 hours to allow the saponification process to complete.
Fifth Step: After release from the mold, cut the soap into bars and allow them to cure in a well-ventilated area for four to six weeks.
Recommendations for Application and Storage:
-
Scent Retention: This fragrance oil is known for its excellent retention in cold process soap, meaning the cured bars will maintain a strong, true aroma. A 1% dosage is generally sufficient for a strong scent.
-
Safety: Always wear appropriate protective equipment when working with Sodium Hydroxide (lye) in soap making.
-
Storage: Store the finished soap bars and any leftover fragrance oil in a cool, dark place away from light and heat to maintain their quality and scent profile.
