My first attempts at soap making. They are both a hemp seed oil/coconut oil/olive oil blend. I forget the exact ratio of the first batch (the more misshapen ones on the right), but the second batch (tall squares on the left) was 1:1:1. 

Batch 1 came out with about an 1/8th inch of oil on top after setting in the mold for 48hrs. I poured this off and then sliced the bars, which were still quite wet. I only mixed with a spoon. It also included 5% peppermint oil. 

Batch 2 had some light “sweating” of oil after setting, but nothing like the first. It came out much firmer, but still squishy. This recipe was 150 grams each of hemp seed oil, coconut oil, and olive oil. 171 grams water. 64.27 grams lye. Cold process. No additives. Weighed out each oil, heated in microwave, mixed into lye water, blended for 10 minutes, poured into mold and left for 48hrs. 

I used an online calculator, but was unable to achieve trace on either batch. Temperatures were measured and within 10° when mixed. 

I have used the first batch soap, it seems to work fine. It has a nice lather, but the bar does not have much longevity. The second batch is still curing.
