Items Needed

Olive Oil – 172.8 g

Coconut Oil – 104.8 g

Castro Oil – 22.4 g

Titanium oxide – 2.4g

43.6g Na-OH

86g Water

Scent

8-16 drops of color ex blue 2 takes more

2- 1” x 6 PVC pipe

4- 1” Flat bottom PVC caps

Blender

Vaseline

Glass cup

Protective Gear

Note.

All things used on this project and must never be used for anything else. Especially to prepare food this is an extreme danger to everyone's health.

Mix oils until they equal 300g. Put the oil into the blender. Now add the Titanium oxide to the blender and mix well. If you desire a less opaque soap then you can add a little more Titanium oxide in to a separate cup. Now add the sent of your choice to the cup. (each type of sent is different and require different amounts so be sure to check the instructions on the bottle for how much to add.) Add desired color (If you use Blue #2 It will take more coloring to achieve the desired results because some of the dye is destroyed in the reaction). Lubricate the inside of the PVC pipe and caps with Vaseline make sure you completely cover all the places the soap will touch. If you don't you will never get the soap out of the PVC. Put One cap on the pipe. Measure out Na-OH and water in separate containers. Mix the Na-OH into the water until it is dissolved. (Be careful you now have a substance that is very caustic and a will cause a chemical burn if it comes in contact with your skin). Add this into the blender and mix well. Pour into the PVC pipes. Try not to get air bubbles in it. If you do you can gently tap it on the counter. Place the other cap into the PVC. Label and let sit vertically for at least six weeks. You can then open the tube and simply push out the soap then cut it into rounds.
