Kim's Marshmallow Root & Lanolin Soap
From Kim of Oakleaf Valley Naturals

Ingredients:
22 oz tallow
8 oz olive oil
4 oz castor oil
12 oz shortening
1 oz stearic acid
18 oz water (infused with marshmallow root)
6.3 oz lye

Add at trace:
2 oz lanolin
I scented this with Anise. Once the lanolin saponifies, I've never smelled it in soap

To infuse marshmallow root:
In a saucepan, take about a cup of marshmallow root pieces (chopped as finely as possible) and cover them with water (try to get as close to the final amount as possible...for this recipe I started with 24 oz so I knew I'd have enough. Anything left over makes a wonderful lotion) You'll end up with a thick, almost jelly-like substance that is wonderfully moisturizing for your skin. Use this for your water in the soap recipe (I left a few small pieces in the soap; it didn't leave the soap scratchy at all).
