Orange & Clove, Tallow Bars (Ellen Ruth base recipe)

Notes:
  • Instead of sugar, try using local Maple Syrup! (1 Tablespoon)
  • VERY WHITE naturally.
  • For Orange & Clove, try natural orange layer on top with natural brown layer on the bottom? Maybe African Black soap on the bottom!
  • 33 oz African Black Quick Mix for bottom will require 4.39 oz lye and 8.2 oz water/liquid.
  • Bottom layer with natural brown and speckles, including orange peel powder, cocoa powder, etc.
  • Top layer natural orange will have annatto, tumeric, and paprika?
  • Soap COOL and shove in FRIDGE to retain orange EO scent.
  • Litsea & Orange EO should be 9 parts to 1 part Clove Bud EO. For this recipe, try:
    • For the bottom layer (African Black) use 1.2 oz Orange EO, 1.2 oz Litsea EO, 0.2 oz Clove Bud EO.
    • For the BIG top layer (tallow) use 2.5 ox Orange EO, 2.5 oz Litsea EO, 0.4 oz Clove Bud EO.
