Bubble Gum Soap Recipe - Cold Process

When I saw this cold process soap recipe called Bubble Gum Soap on the Soap Making Forum site I had to check it out. If you have kids that do not like to take a bath, this recipe may be the soap for you. If you are vegan I would suggest using palm oil or crisco instead of tallow. And since this recipe is calling for a bubblegum fragrance oil, make sure that the fragrance oil you purchase can work in a cold process recipe. The ingredients you will need for this recipe are 8 oz soft water; 3 oz lye, 7 oz crisco, palm oil or tallow; 7 oz coconut oil; 6 oz olive oil; 1 oz jojoba oil; 1 oz Bubble gum fragrance oil, and Imperial Red Mica to color.
