Our production of BLACK LAVA is on a hiatus, but since we are super accommodating we are sharing the recipe right here! Melt the butters, mix in the oils and the clay. You will need to stir well before use.
So here it goes that recipe for my AMAZING HP soap.
I am sharing two recipes, one using exclusively my products and a cheaper to make version that uses shea butter and coconut oil.
The tutorial with pictures and videos will be online in the next two days.
THE HARDWARE:
a scale, you can find decent ones on eBay for about 11 bucks. In soap making, everything is measured by weight, even the liquids.
a food thermometer.
a crock-pot (for my personal soaps I use my own kitchen crock-pot, since the lye will be totally saponified by the end of the process I think it is safe, some people disagree).
a stick blender.
a mold (a milk or juice box will work, just turn it sideways and cut one side. No need to line).
protective gear if needed - gloves, glasses, mask, an apron.
THE INGREDIENTS:
sodium hydroxide (lye) - for a small amount check out this site, if you want to buy larger amounts you can try soapmaking stores or even eBay.
fragrance - depending on it - EO or fragrance oils - you will need about 0.5 oz. to 1 oz. I prefer not to use scents, this is such a special face soap, it doesn't really need to smell good too.
Castor oil - 2 oz. (this oil has a very unique fatty acid profile and adds special properties to the soap, I am selling some of my personal oil in 2 oz bottles but you can find it pretty much anywhere).
SUPERFAT OIL OR BUTTER - 1 oz. For the superfat you will use the oil or butter you want the soap to have the properties - for example, add a "hair" oil and it is a shampoo bar, add pracaxi and it is a great bar for hyper pigmentation, you can also add a butter or a blend.

This is a super easy recipe that will help you with a bunch of skin issues from insect bites to simple allergic reactions. Please test dragon's blood on your skin before using it in larger scale.
Melt the butter, put them in the fridge until it is ready to be whipped. Add the oil slowly and keep whipping until the oil is totally incorporated into the butter.
Melt the butters, put them in the fridge until they are ready to be whipped. Add the dragon's blood when the butters are already mixed and keep whipping until the resin is totally incorporated into the mix.
You can add a good quality EO but the natural scent of these butters and oils is delicious.
Melt butters in a clean, dry glass jar in a pot with water over medium heat, after they are fully melted add Urucum extract. You whip this butter or not. If you decide to melt it, wait until it is fully cool down at room temperature and whip it, if it is still too soft, then put in the fridge for a little bit and whip again.

Melt beeswax in a clean, dry glass jar in a pot with water over medium heat, after the wax is melted add butters then oil. When all ingredients are melted, transfer to your containers and that is it! Give a couple as gifts and keep the rest because you will fall in love.
I have pretty good skin but I suffer from black heads on my nose, around it and some on my chin. I wanted to make a mask/scrub that feels luxurious, heavy and that worked, I researched black tourmaline and, of course, maracuja oil and this scrub turned out fantastic!

Melt beeswax in a clean, dry glass jar in a pot with water over medium heat, after the wax is melted add butter then oil. When all ingredients are melted, wait until they cool down a little bit and mix the powder in you will need to stir until the product is a bit thicker/cooler and tourmaline can't sink anymore (tourmaline is heavy, it tends to travel to the bottom of container) then transfer to your containers.
Apply to problem areas in a thick layer, let it stay for 5-10 minutes then scrub LIGHTLY for a bit (you know your skin, sensitive skin needs less time and gentler exfoliation.

Melt beeswax in a clean, dry glass jar in a pot with water over medium heat, after the wax is melted add butters then oil. When all ingredients are melted, waited until they cool down a little bit and mix the powders. Wait, again, until your blend is a little cooler and keep stirring, if you transfer to your little containers while it is too melted, the powders will sink, getting separated on the bottom. When product is a bit thicker and cooler transfer to your containers and put in the fridge for a little bit.
Be gentle scrubbing your lips (scrub areas around lips too) and leave the product on for a few minutes, everything on it is good for you.
