Do you have any trouble using yours? Mine is so thick and sticky, its hard to get it mixed with water to work up a lather. Its a fine soap for hair or skin but I don't think I care much for the texture.

Nope, mine isn't thick or sticky .. well, I don't think it is. Mine is the consistency of commercial body wash (maybe slightly thicker) and while it doesn't have a big, bubbly lather I get a nice, creamy lather with very little effort.

I bet mine got sticky from the shea, tho original recipe didn't have any hard oils. I generally dilute mine with just a little water to make a really thick liquid, that makes it reasonably usable. I just wish it lathered more.

*in monotone* .. release the lather Obsidian ..
I don't think this soap is about the lather .. like Castile.
Did not go to my markets today so I am going to try this

Thank you for the recipe!
Pilar, I don't know if you're still on the forum, but thank you for this recipe! My husband asked me to make some but I couldn't find a simple recipe. Yours worked perfectly! I made it in a crock pot. It took about 2 hours. Maybe I should have cooked it longer, to get it darker, but it is a nice consistency and a dark brown color. I love how it feels on my skin!
Thank you for taking the time to post it!

goodjoan, Sorry! I did not see this message ...
Of course. I'm here, friend! I'm happy if you are. I am glad that my formula made you happy. Kisses from Spain.

It's even better with age! I made such a huge amount, and we use such a tiny bit per use, that I still have some left. When I made it, it was brown but not extremely dark. As it's aged, its turned a beautiful mahogany color.

Very interesting!
This is a helpful thread. I like making liquid soap paste by cold process and saving it to dilute later. I may try that method with Pilat's formulation. Again, thanks for the information.
