Pureed Carrot Cold Process Soap Recipe

Puree the cooked carrots or use carrot baby food if preferred.

Melt the coconut and palm oil in double boiler or microwave until melted.

Add olive oil to melted oils, stir and set aside.

When the lye and oils have cooled down to between 100°-120°F, pour lye solution into liquid oils and hand stir for a minute. Then, using a stick blender, blend with small bursts and stir until it is emulsified to a light trace.

Sprinkle the desired amount of poppy seeds in the soap batter and stir - save some seeds to sprinkle on the top.

Stick blend until soap comes to full trace.

Pour soap batter into the silicone loaf mold and sprinkle poppy seeds down the middle.

Gently tap the mold on the counter to remove any air pockets.

Let sit in mold for 24-48 hours.

Remove soap from mold and slice into bars. They will have a nice light-orange natural color. If soap is still soft, place in freezer for 45 minutes to help pop the loaf out of the mold.

Let cure for 4-6 weeks.
