Notes:

From Elly's recipe on YT “Liquid Soap Making Tutorial”: I added essential oils at a rate of 2% of the total finished soap weight – you will need to calculate this for your own soap batch, depending on how much paste you dilute. You may also want to reduce this amount to 1 or 1.5% - depending on your essential oils and your personal preference. To make the salt solution for thickening the soap, dissolve 20g of salt into 80g of hot distilled or filtered water. Stir the mixture until the salt dissolves. This solution can be multiplied to produce a larger batch. It can also be stored under refrigeration indefinitely.
