Soap Making – Lemongrass & Calendula All Natural Soap | Findlay Creek Soap Company

Welcome to the Findlay Creek Soap Company! Today I am making Lemongrass & Calendula soap. Because lemongrass essential oil can accelerate trace, I intentionally wanted the design of this soap to be simple. I used dried calendula petals to colour the soap, as well as kaolin clay to create a rich, luxurious lather.

Recipe:
42% Olive Oil
25% Coconut Oil
10% Hemp Seed Oil
10% Cocoa Butter
8% Shea Butter
5% Castor Oil

I use Soap Calc to determine the amounts of oils/butter, lye and water to include in the recipe, based on the above percentages

I use EOCalc to determine the safe usage rates for essential oils in cold process soap

The Lemongrass Essential Oil was purchased from New Directions Aromatics

New subbie! I make soap as well and honestly I don’t have a grinder…when I use coffee, herbs and etc I cut it with my stick blender lol I know that prolly takes away from the life span of my stick blender but it grinds stuff so fast 😭
