All went well I quadrupled the recipe and dyed it purple. Special thanks to 358156 "Bob" for the lanolin and dye.
Original portions
2 Tablespoons mineral oil
1 Tablespoon castor oil
1 Tablespoon Ivory, or homemade soap (grated)
1 Tablespoon Lanolin
Beeswax - Piece approximately 3 1/2" X 3 1/2" X 1 "
Heat mineral (baby) oil until it starts to smoke.
Add castor oil, and reduce heat to 150 and let cook for an hour and 20 min.
I Grated the soap, and stired it into the mixture a little at a time, until melted. I had to bring heat up to 200 degrees for this.
I Dropped the temp to 150 And added the beeswax when melted
Then add the lanolin and took it off the heat.
Stirred untill all dissolved and added the dye cubes.
Ps it's purple for the wife! "Her favorite color."
