Avocado Oil Soap Recipe

This Avocado Oil Soap uses comfrey infused Olive Oil which is reported to have skin healing properties.

The addition of Sweet Orange, Lemongrass, Geranium and Patchouli essential oils give the soap a soft herbal lemon scent.

The recipe is a three step process (if you make it to look like mine as seen above) so be sure to read it through first.

Step One
Make a batch of the Basic Homemade Soap and when it is finished insulating, follow the directions for creating soap curls.

Step Two
Make a comfrey infusion with the olive oil. Place 1 cup of dried comfrey in a crock pot and cover with about 2 cups of olive oil. Place the crock pot on low for an hour and then turn off. Leave covered overnight. Strain out the herb through a coffee filter.

Step Three
Follow the instructions on The Process page to make the homemade soap base. Grapefruit Seed Extract was added to the base oils and all other additives were incorporated at a thin trace. After thoroughly blending additives in, gently pour the liquid soap over the soap curls and then insulate as usual.
