Hi everyone. I am still a beginner soap maker, but I have come up with a product that I really like unfortunately with one big problem - texture! It's super liquidy and too thin for my liking. I tried thickening the actual base (castile soap) with a salt mixture, but then soon after I add all my other oils it goes right back to being very thin. :headbanging: I read about arrowroot powder (I am sticking to natural ingredients) for thickening, I picked some up but am unsure how to actually use it. Or any other way to thicken. Thanks everyone for your help!
For info for clarification! I am trying to make a shampoo. My base is castile paste that I diluted (at 3.5) to liquid castile. Then I thickened the base using a 20% salt mixture to my desired thickness. Then after, I add fractionated coconut oil, witch hazel, jojoba oil, vegetable glycerin, and essential oil. After I add those ingredients, soon after my soap reverts back to it's original thin texture which I hate! I just want to create a thicker texture for the shampoo.
