50g shea butter

150g cocoa butter

125g coconut oil

25g castor oil

85g hemp seed oil

65g olive oil

70g lye/ sodium hydroxide

190g water

3 T white kaolin clay

½ tsp titanium dioxide, dispersed in 1 tsp of olive oil (optional if you want to make a two-toned soap)

1 T hemp hearts (optional for decoration)

15g essential oils (optional otherwise leave fragrance free)

Melt the oils together in your soaping pot, then let them cool to room temperature. Outside or in a well ventilated area and wearing protective gear, measure out the lye and water and add the lye to the water (never the other way around), stirring gently. Let the mixture cool to room temperature.

Pour the lye water into the oils and bring the batter to a light trace by blending with a stick/immersion blender. Blend in the clay and any essential oil if using. If you are making multi-coloured soap, scoop out ¼ of the mixture and add the titanium dioxide and oil mixture and blend. Pour the mixture, alternating colours, into molds and leave to set for 72 hours before cutting, then slice up and remove from mold. Leave to dry out and saponify for 6-8 weeks
