🌴 100% coconut oil soap for bathing - 3 ingredients - no stick blender soap

This is a simple recipe for 100% coconut oil soap that can be used for bathing. Coconut oil soap is well known for its great lather and strong cleaning power, but it can be drying to the skin, so this recipe uses a high 25% superfat to make the soap more gentle and suitable for bathing and hand washing.

All the recipe details are below, including a half size and low superfat version of the recipe for cleaning.

What is Superfat?
Superfat is a common soap making term that refers to an excess oil amount calculated into the soap recipe, which leaves a portion of unsaponified oil in the finished soap. You don't need to add any extra oils to your soap recipe to add the superfat, the soap calculator works it all out for you! I explain superfat further in this video https://youtu.be/VkgUjjqa-8s and this is another great resource for learnign about superfats in soap making https://classicbells.com/soap/superfat.asp

This is another great article about using coconut oil in soap making by Amanda from 'Lovin Soap' https://www.lovinsoap.com/2016/12/coconut-oil-soap-making-properties-recipes/

IMPORTANT
* The information provided in this video and description box text are 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. If you have never made soap before, please watch the first two videos on the list below before you attempt any soap recipe. As a hobby 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

The Video Recipe - 25% superfat - large batch
840g coconut oil
234g water (any drinking water is fine)
This recipe uses a 2:1 water to lye ratio (33% lye concentration) for the water-lye solution.
Please watch this video to learn more about calculating water for soap recipes https://youtu.be/wd7_uZfbPn4
115g sodium hydroxide / NaOH

This recipe makes just under 1200g of soap (12 x 100g bars)
You will need a mould that holds at least 1.2 litres or 40.5 fluid ounces of liquid to make this recipe.

Half Sized Recipe - 25% superfat
420g coconut oil
117g water
57g sodium hydroxide / NaOH

Lower superfat recipe for cleaning soap (will be drying on skin)
840g coconut oil
292g water
146g sodium hydroxide (5% superfat)

METHOD as per video
If you make the low superfat version for a cleaning soap, be prepared for it to saponify faster and go through a more vigorous and hotter 'gel phase', particularly if made in a loaf mould. Do not insulate this soap after it's poured, just leave it uncovered (it will get hot!).
