Melt and pour soap 101:
For melt and pour you cannot use: coconut milk (too much moisture and this will mold! ), lime juice (same), vinegar (too much moisture) , baking soda (wth?). The rest is OK to add but is useless in reality and together the additives are way too much.
Using food coloring in soap is not allowed per the FDA.
Only use soap and skin safe essential oils. Keep to the max weight % the manufacturer gives you for soap. Never measure EO in ‘drops’.
Keep all additives combined (!) to 1 level teaspoon per pound of soap base to prevent issues like the soap not setting well, less lather, sweating, feeling oily.
Bottom line:
Even if you get a somewhat hard soap using this recipe, the shelf life of a soap like this is 1 or 2 days max. After that the mold spores and bacteria from the botanicals can cause health issues. For healthy people, let alone for people with mold allergies, asthma, low immune system or pregnant.
