Jesse’s Sweet Orange

This is the first soap that I made and of course I think it is special!

32 oz lard
32 oz olive oil
24 oz water
8.34 oz lye

At trace:

2 oz mango butter (melted and warm)
2 1/2 tsp. tea tree eo
5 tsp. lavender eo
6 1/2 tsp. sweet orange eo

Mix at 100 degrees for both oils and lye mix.

Makes a nice creamy colored bar, smells yummy. Cure 3-4 weeks.
