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.

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!).

New to soap making? This is important!
Sodium hydroxide and potassium hydroxide (lyes) used in soap making, in granular or flake 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 proper use of personal protective equipment.
