Banana Cream

Notes:
  1. Prepare lye solution and let cool to room temperature
  2. . Melt and mix coconut oil, shea butter, olive oil and rice bran oil and let cool to room temperature
  3. In the meantime prepare banana by mashing it with a fork, disperse kaolin clay in 1 tablespoon of water and measure out essential oil
  4. Add heavy cream to oils by using a stick blender and thoroughly mixing until evenly incorporated
  5. Carefully pour lye solution into oils and blend until you reach emulsification (no more oil floating on top and the mix looks cloudy, milky)
  6. Now separate about 12 oz of soap for the piping into a small container and set aside
  7. Add mashed banana and essential oils to the now bigger portion of the soap and stick blend to medium trace
  8. Pour soap into the mold
  9. Put this soap aside in the fridge to keep cool and avoid gel
  10. To the portion that you set aside add kaolin clay and stick blend until thick trace is achieved
  11. Wait until the consistency of the soap is thick enough to pipe, the soap needs to be able to hold a stiff peak (this may take 10 - 20 min)
  12. Prepare the piping bag by cutting off the tip and inserting the piping tip
  13. Fill the bag with stiff soap batter and take the poured soap out of the fridge
  14. Mark your soap mold where you plan to cut the bars
  15. Pipe three dollops across the middle of each marked bar
  16. Pipe two dollops to fill in the sides and one dollop on top in the middle
  17. Put the finished soap in the freezer over night
  18. Take the soap out of the freezer and let it rest at room temperature for another 24 hours
  19. Release from the mold by gently pulling on all sides first and the applying steady pressure on the bottom
  20. Cut into bars and cure for 4 weeks
