Classic Castile Liquid Wash Recipe

Notes:
  • Recipe Identification: Clearly state the batch date 2026-06-18.
  • The Specific Blend: Note the percentages of your oils used (Coconut 40%, Olive 40%, Castor 20%) so you can replicate it if it turns out well.
  • KOH Purity: Document that you used a 90% purity rating for your KOH, which is critical for future accuracy if you change your supplier.
  • Processing Times: Once you begin, record how long it took to reach "trace" with your stick blender.
  • Observations on the "Cook": Note the time it took for the paste to achieve the "translucent, petroleum jelly" consistency.
  • Dilution Ratio: Record the exact amount of water you used for the dilution phase (e.g., 1:1 or as your recipe requires) to track the final thickness of the liquid soap.
  • Fragrance Experience: Note whether the 3% fragrance weight was enough for your desired scent intensity.
  • Skin Feel: After curing and testing, note how the soap feels on your skin to determine if you need to adjust the "Cleansing" percentage in future batches.
