Notes:
- Measure out 1 oz of the total distilled water separately, heat for 10 seconds and dissolve 1 tsp sugar in the water
- Measure out rest of cold water
- Measure out the lye and add to water
- Set lye water and sugar water aside to cool
- Weigh out coconut oil into saucepan and slowly melt over gentle heat
- Measure out castor oil in heat proof jug and add liquid coconut oil
- Blend charcoal into the oils with stick blender
- Measure out 1 oz patchouli essential oil and blend with arrowroot powder then cover with plastic wrap to prevent evaporation
- When lye and oils are around 85 degrees Fahrenheit slowly pour lye into oils
- Use stick blender on slow and in short bursts between manual stirring to emulsion - not even trace as salt accelerates thickening
- Stir essential oil mix into batter using a spatula (or add it while blending to emulsion it does not accelerate)
- Stir in 18 oz salt using a spatula - do not stick blend
- Quickly pour into molds, make sure tops are as flat as possible. Spray with alcohol.
- Stamp while still in molds, after 18 - 24 hours - salt makes soap hard quickly
- Unmold
