FORMULA
Lye - 9.912oz
Lipton Green Tea made with DISTILLED water - 23.128oz
Shea Butter - 32oz
Virgin Coconut Oil - 20oz
Activated Charcoal - 1/2 tsp
Aveeno Oatmeal - 1 pk
Indian Healing Clay - 1 tbsp
Jojoba Oil - 16oz
Olive Oil - 8oz
Vegetable Glycerin - 4oz
Rose Geranium Essential Oil - 20 drops
Lemongrass Essential Oil - 5 drops
Eucalyptus Essential Oil - 30 drops
Peppermint Essential Oil - 10 drops
Lavender Essential Oil - 0.33oz
Tea Tree Essential Oil - 0.33oz
Simplified Instructions:
Step #1: Make Green tea with distilled water, place aside to cool. Make at least 30oz.
Step #2: Measure out all ingredients. (Mix all essential oils in a separate beaker and place to the side for last).
Step #3: After Green tea is cooled, carefully pour in lye. Mix until it has dissolved. Be careful, it will be HOT. Cover and place to the side.
Step #4: Place solid ingredients in beaker. As your solids are melting in the water bath, mix all liquid and powder ingredients in a separate beaker. Blend for 5 minutes. Place to the side.
Step #5: Once solids are melted, pour in mixture from Step #4 and blend well for 5 minutes.
Step #6: Once both Step #3 and Step #5 are at the right temperature, slowly pour in Step #3 while blending and blend until it reaches appropriate "trace". If the lye mixture has particles floating, please drain in a new beaker before using.
Step #7: Add in essential oils mix and thoroughly blend again, monitoring the "trace". If done correctly, your trace should look like nice pancake batter (not so thick).
Step #8: Quickly, but carefully, pour final mixture into molds.
