Yield: 1 Batch

FATS AND OILS
		100øF
LYE SOLUTION
		100øF
INGREDIENTS
201	g	Sodium hydroxide
1	lb	3 oz distilled water
1	lb	5 oz olive oil
1	lb	Coconut oil
14	oz	Palm oil

7	ts	Pure essential oil or fragrance oil, optional

Though pine tar can be added at trace if the soapmaker works quickly to ensure no lumps, it is recommended to add the pine tar to the melted fats and oils immediately before adding the lye solution. The pine tar speeds up saponification, so be ready to add essential oils an pour within 2 to 5 mintues.
