Soap with Ingredients from Cindy's Cupboard
I’ve only received one soap request from the Quick Gifts from Your Cupboard blog post
Cindy wrote, “I want to make a soap that has great lathering capability, is long lasting, moisturizing, and feels good on the skin.” As Cindy has a fairly standard soap maker’s cupboard, I decided to make a recipe that used a little bit of Mink Oil as a special luxury oil.

Recipe in ounces: 6 ounces Olive Oil 5 ounces Palm Kernel Oil or Coconut Oil 4 ounces Palm Oil or Hydrogenated Soy 1 ounce Mink Oil 2.22 ounces Sodium Hydroxide for 6% Excess Fat |
Recipe in percentages: 37.5% Olive Oil 31.25% Palm Kernel Oil or Coconut Oil 25% Palm Oil or Hydrogenated Soy 6.25% Mink Oil q.s. Sodium Hydroxide for 6% Excess Fat |
Due to the current cold winter temperatures in Idaho, make this soap with a starting temperature of 130° F. Any additives of clays or botanicals can be added. I would make a test batch without any additives other than fragrance if desired so you can check the lather. Make the soap and when you cut it the next day, take a small bar or sliver off the sink and try it out!
I hope you enjoy this soap!
