Basic Cold Process Soap Recipe

16 oz. Coconut Oil
16 oz. Olive Oil
8 oz. Palm Oil
8 oz. Soybean (I use partially hydroginated 100% soy but I assume Crisco will work great too)
7.0 oz. Sodium Hydroxide
16 oz. Water

It is a simple recipe that seems in balance of soft and hard oils and all of my batches have turned out great. I superfat to about 5%. This is by far NOT the only recipe I use but I think it’s a good base recipe and I like the three pound size… it is easy to manage. I personally feel smaller batches are easier to “control” and I rarely have any problems. I like adding oats, etc…
