🌲 Easy Pine Tar Cold Process Soap, no stick blender required.

An easy cold process pine tar soap, no stick blender required. I love this recipe! And so do many of my friends and family, especially the men. I don't make any therapeutic claims about this soap, except to say that Pine Tar has been used medicinally for skin conditions for centuries, and is said to have a calming effect on irritated skin. I'll leave you to draw your own conclusions, but either way, this is a unique and satisfying soap to make and to use.

The recipe is further down. But first....

What is a 'blokey bloke'? This Urban Dictionary definition is pretty close https://www.urbandictionary.com/define.php?term=Blokey%20Bloke

This is a good general introduction to Pine Tar and its uses:

Some interesting dermatological research on Pine Tar:

Where to buy Pine Tar?
That will entirely depend on your location. Australians can purchase pure Swedish pine tar quite easily from online pet supplies shops, saddlery and produce agencies (make sure you get pure pine tar!) and possibly even some boat building suppliers. Soap makers in other countries will have to do their own research. Just make sure you purchase 100% pure pine tar, and nothing else.

IMPORTANT
The information provided in this video and description box text is intended for people who are familiar with the basics of soap making - including soap making terms, ingredients, the methods used to calculate and make soap recipes, and the necessary requirements to make soap safely. Sodium hydroxide (and other lye types) in granular form or in solution with water/other liquids, as well as raw soap batter, are highly corrosive and require careful and attentive handling and the use of personal protective equipment. If you have never made soap before, please watch the videos listed below (especially the first one) before you attempt any soap recipe. As a hobby or professional soap maker, you are responsible for the safety of yourself and others around you when you make soap. Please take the time to learn about soap making and soap safety before you attempt your first soap batch.

RECIPE
[950g oils in total]
598g olive oil
85g coconut oil
95g cocoa butter
47g castor oil
114g pine tar (pine tar is not an oil and does not saponify with the lye, but it is usually calculated into the soap recipe as a percentage of the total oil amount. Most soap calculators list pine tar in their oils selection).
9.5g beeswax
38g essential oil (I used 23g tea tree and 15g cedar, but you can use any EO's you think would pair nicely with the pine tar).
237g water (I used all ice, but half water - half ice might be better).
118g sodium hydroxide/caustic soda (make sure your product is at least 98% sodium hydroxide).

This recipe has a 4% superfat and uses a 2 : 1 water to lye ratio.
My mould used in this video is 37cm long, 7cm wide and 5.7cm deep. It holds 1.480kg of soap batter.
