Pineapple Leaf Bars with Bentonite Beads

This batch will fill our Wooden Log Mould comfortably, and can be cut either in slices, or a wider slab, and then cut into halves to make the bars you see above. Very similar to the Black Amber & Lavender recipe, the only change is the quantities of Olive and Rice Bran Oil.

This recipe has some Titanium Dioxide to whiten the base to make it a more effective background for the Bentonite Clay Beads. We have used the Mint Green Beads in this recipe.

• 50g Shea Butter
• 150g Olive Oil
• 300g Coconut Oil
• 300g Palm Kernel Oil
• 500g Rice Bran Oil

• 188g Caustic Soda (Sodium Hydroxide)
• Between 390g and 450g water (use the higher amount of water if you are a beginner as it will give you more time to pour the batch)

• 20ml each Pineapple Cilantro and Tomato Leaf Fragrance or Essential Oils of choice

• 2 - 4 Tablespoons of Bentonite Clay Beads

Method:
