Green Papaya Soap

 The green papayas are full of papain.  Using  this soap frequently, it will help lighten the blemish on your skin.

coconut oil    400g
palm oil      400g
shortening   480g (should be 600g, short of 120g )
sweet almond oil   50g
olive oil       600g
orange juice    600g
bee wax   120g
smashed green papaya  320g
Lye   292g
papaya soaps      5/11/11
It was a frightening waiting time for me. I found out that I left out 120g lard after I put the traced soap in mold.   I needed to add 120g lard because my shortening ran out on me. (The INS of shortening and lard is about the same, therefor they can replace each other)
Fortunately, I tested the batch when it was cured, the pH was still reasonable. Measuring in grams is the best way to make soap successfully.
