MY Himalayan Rhubarb Soap 4.5 lb batch

Notes:
Goal: Himalayan Rhubarb PINK soap with dark charcoal swirl.
Essential Oil Scent: “Sunlit Meadow” Blend:
  • ⅓ Lavender = 1 oz Lavender EO
  • ⅓ Cedarwood Atlas = 1 oz Cedarwood Atlas EO
  • ⅓ Fir Needle = 1 oz Fir Needle EO

NEW BATCH 2025: I infused 24 oz of olive oil with 0.5 Tablespoons of Anne Geddes Himalayan Rhubarb & Star Botanicals Rhubarb Root Powder. Did it quickly with a hot plate.
OLD STUFF: Both the sweet almond oil and the olive oil will be infused with Himilayan Rhurbarb powder from Anne George. The olive oil (25% of recipe) will be heat-infused at a rate of 4 teaspons powder to 18 ounces of olive oil. Some of the sweet almond oil (10% of recipe) was infused for many months and I'm not sure what rate of powder per ounce I used. The rest of the sweet almond oil was infused at a rate almost the same as the olive oil – I hot-infused 2 teaspoons of HR powder in 10 ounces of sweet almond oil.
