Hi all,
I am just making my second ever batch of milk soaps. I am hoping to sell them.
I am using frozen milk to make the lye. Last time they cured brilliantly and people have just started testing them for me and getting great feedback.
This 2nd batch I made exactly the same base with different essential oils but I have a thick layer of soda ash on top of all the bars.
From what I have read this is more likely because I am soaping at lower temperatures. But wondering if anyone can advise on what those temps should be roughly. They were between 30 and 37 degrees for this batch because I wrote them down but not sure on the last batch.
I am just think forward to hopefully selling lots of bars. It will be a huge task to take the ash of every bar of soap.
Thanks
