Olive oil is so expensive at the moment due to shortages around the world. This 100% rice bran oil castile type soap is a nice alternative! This recipe works with both olive oil and rice bran oil.
I haven't written this recipe out for my website, because it's really so basic! But I'll list the ingredients below if you want to give it a try. _Please_ take your time and get very familiar with all the aspects of soap making (watch lots of videos!) before you make soap for the first time. A good place to start would be to watch this beginner recipe video https://youtu.be/lBc-dWQmFIM and this video about soap making safety https://youtu.be/EZTsW9UvNmU
*Ingredients*
950g rice bran oil (you can also use olive oil - it's essentially a castile soap recipe)

24g tenfold orange essential oil
6g patchouli essential oil
SPECS: 5% superfat, 2:1 water to lye ratio, EO at 3% of base soaping oil
