Room-temperature method works well. Stick blend to medium trace. No palm means slightly softer bars — use sodium lactate at 1 tsp/lb for extra hardness.
Peppermint and eucalyptus EO (3:1 ratio) at 3%. Invigorating and universally appealing.
Spirulina powder for natural green, or French green clay for an earthy sage tone.
4–6 weeks. Sodium lactate helps it unmold faster. The shea content keeps bars firm during cure.
