*** RECIPE ***
My total recipe oil weight = 1350 grams

I divided the recipe into 2 parts & made each separately:
The bottom is 1/3 (450 g) & the top is 2/3 (900 g)

Olive Oil - 35%
Coconut Oil - 23%
Lard - 25%
Avocado Oil - 6%
Cocoa Butter - 5%
Castor Oil - 6%

If you don't want to use lard, you can try replacing with 20% shea butter and 5% more cocoa butter

Recipe is in percentages so it can be used for any size mold. Help with converting percentages: https://bit.ly/2DaKDz3

Superfat - 5%

To calculate your sodium hydroxide (NaOH), you can use the soap calculator at Majestic Mountain Sage (https://bit.ly/36kAlda).

Distilled Water = 2 x NaOH (33% lye solution)

Essential Oil Blend:
Sweet Orange - 4 parts
Cedarwood - 2 parts
Patchouli - 1 part

*I avoided adding any orange essential oil to the white soap
