Lemon yogurt soap for fresh morning – 100% olive oil variant

A year ago I made Lemon yogurt soap for fresh morning!

… I love to make it often as this soap is just perfect and it seems a lot of people like it, so I decided to make it for Christmas 🙂

As you know, I am having a period of 100% olive oil soapmaking, so I did this soap only with olive oil and it is as good as the original version! 🙂

Recipe

125g white yogurt (mix with distilled water)

255g distilled water

1 TBSP of salt (to make soap harder, dissolved in distilled water, BEFORE dissolving NaOH)

128g NaOH

1000g olive oil

At trace

9g EO lemon

6g EO lime

5g EO lemongrass

15g arrow root (scent fixative, any other starch of flour will work)

For instructions, see original post.

This time I did not put it in the fridge and unmolded without problems after 24 hours. Spritzed with rubbing alcohol to avoid soda ash and surprise surprise – it worked! 🙂

Tried after 3 weeks, it is perfect 🙂

  Thank you, Miriam! It turned out that it was one of my best soap I ever made – not only as to the design, but mainly as to the consistency and foaminess…. it is great, does not get slimy when using intensively and has a nice creamy foam…

Hi Evik,
Just read your blog, its good and impressive. The best part is your nature to share. I have always wondered what propylene glycol does to the saponification reaction,does it accelerates the reaction or does it slow it down. Do you have any idea?? I make melt and pour soaps here in India and use propylene glycol instead of using alcohol. BTW thanks for the beautiful posts,I have subscribed for the new posts on this blog. Good going evik, keep it up.

What a treasure trove your site is! So glad to have stumbled upon it today. When you add the starch for a scent fixative, are you measuring out the oils and then mixing it into the oils before adding the whole mixture to the soap – or are you adding the starch to the soap independent of the oils?

I love the recipe! I would like to know how long you cure your 100% olive oil soaps before using them? I have read that they should cure 6-9 months. (I posted this question on your other “Lemon Yogurt” recipe which is coconut and olive oil. I meant to post the question here.)

  Hi Carolyn,
  
  normally you need to cure 6-9 months because of the fact that olive oil soap has no foam and gets slimy. The more time passes, the more resistant it gets and more bubbles it creates. I cured this one just for 3 weeks – thanks to salt added it was hard enough (not slimy) and thanks to yogurt it has nice lather.

Hi Evik,

I have a question for you. The salt in the soap doesn’t dry the skin?
I love your site and I have so many questions to ask but my english is not so good and I must wait for my children to have time to help me.
