Honey & Hemp Shampoo Bar

Instructions

In a stainless steel or heat proof plastic container, add the distilled water and carefully add the lye. Stir with a heavy duty rubber or silicone spatula until dissolved. (Do this in the kitchen sink to avoid spillage). Leave to cool.

Add the oils to an enamel or stainless steel pot dedicated to soap making, place over a low burner and heat them up to around 90 - 110 degrees.

Once your lye and oils are around the same temperature, pour the lye into the oils and use an immersion stick blender to mix.

When the mixture begins to thicken, add the jojoba oil and honey and once incorporated carefully pour into soap moulds. Leave for 24 - 48 hours then unmould and slice into bars.

Leave the bars to cure in the open air for 4 - 6 weeks.
