To make this recipe you'll need:
- A Basic Soap Recipe
- Pumpkin fragrance oil or essential oil blend
- Pureed fresh or canned pumpkin
- Pumpkin pie spice
- Basic understanding of Cold Process Soap Making
- 15.3 oz. Lard
- 15.3 oz. Olive Oil
- 12.8 oz. Coconut Oil
- 2.5 oz. Castor Oil
- 5.1 oz. Sunflower Oil
- 3 tsp. of sugar in the water before the lye
- 1.5 tsp of salt in the water before the lye
- 3 oz. of canned pumpkin
- 2 tsp. of pumpkin pie spice
- 2.2 oz of Pumpkin Pie fragrance oil
- 7.2 oz. Lye
- 15 oz. of water (see note at bottom on the water calculation)
Note: Normally, if I was adding a vegetable additive like the pumpkin, I would discount the water a bit to make up for the water content in it. But since "spice" fragrance oils can often cause the batch to get to trace quickly, I'm not discounting any. The water in the pumpkin adds a bit more water to the recipe - which should give you a bit more time to work, get the spice portion mixed, and still layer it in the mold.)
