Ingredients
3oz Canola Oil

6oz lye
Instuctions
Using an 8oz water to mix with the lye, then juice 1 lemon, topped and topped it up to 1/3 cup with cider vinegar, then added chamomile tea to equal another 8 oz of liquid to be added after the soap cooked in the crock pot. Mix the lye into the water and let sit in a safe place. Melt the oils in the crockpot (hold back the hemp until after it’s cooked). Mix the lye water with the oils. Cover and cook for about an hour. Stir as needed. Add the hemp near the end of the cook. Shortly after. do a tongue test and when the zing is gone, remove from heat. (note: don’t do this until you are reasonably sure that the soap is cooked. Walking around the house with your burnt tongue hanging out of your mouth isn’t very appealing no matter how beautiful your skin is. (well, maybe to Fido) :0) Slop into whatever mold you are using. You can use this right away but if you let it sit a few days to a week it will become quite hard and last well.
Replace a percentage of the jojoba or hemp with a bit of shea butter or other butter. You could also try a little less coconut and a little more olive.
Oily Hair: Lemon juice (blonde hair) or cider vinegar (dark hair) can be used in place of some of the water as well as chamomile tea (blonde hair) or rosemary tea (dark hair) and peppermint tea could be nice for either.
You can also up the coconut and decrease the hemp or jojoba, but you’d have to recalculate the lye.
