Here is a recipe that I concocted for use as a base soap in making all
the soaps I have made for Christmas presents. It has worked very well
with all of the different fragrance oils I have used, and it feels

Ingredients:
16 oz wt Coconut Oil
18 oz wt Peanut Oil
16 oz wt Lard
19 oz water or other liquid
7 oz wt Lye (sodium hydroxide)
fragrance oil as desired
Instructions:
I mix the oils and lye/liquid at around 95°F and let the soap stay in the
mold for about 48 hours before taking it out to cut into bars. Let the
soap cure for about 2-3 weeks and enjoy!! I figure it makes about 18
4-oz bars.
