The recipe features the beauty of natural indigo powder and fresh scent of spearmint essential oil. 

Be careful to not over stick blend. With palm-free formulations, we recommend using sodium lactate to aid in unmolding. Placing the mold onto a heating pad for several hours will also aid in unmolding, and make the colors more vibrant. Speaking of colors, we used a small amount of Ultramarine Blue Pigment to boost the blue of indigo powder.

The closest substitute for palm oil is babassu oil, which comes from a native Brazilian palm tree. It adds the same firming and moisturizing properties as coconut and palm. However, the babassu does have a lighter feeling on the skin and it absorbs quickly. You can replace some or all of the palm with babassu. Just remember to run your recipe through our Lye Calculator.

You can also use tallow or lard in place of palm. They add similar hardening properties in cold process soap.

Hot vs. Cold Process Soap: What's the Difference?
Both methods result in a great bar of soap, and allow for plenty of customization. Great questions to ask yourself if deciding between the two methods are: How fast do I need the bars to be useable? If the answer is less than 4 weeks, hot process is a great option! Do I want a complex swirl design? If the answer is yes, cold process soap is for you! Do I want to use fresh ingredients like milk in my recipe? If the answer is yes, hot process may scorch your delicate fresh ingredients.
