Thank you!!

Sorry, Sodium Gluconate

Update on the @Zany_in_CO no slime Castile with EDTA and SG. I easily unmolded it at about 8 hrs and covered it for the night. I just finished cutting it about 22 hours after pouring and it cut perfectly. After the conversation about the different chelators yesterday I got a wild hair and made...

They’re gorgeous!

Thanks @linne1gi ! I have done the math with previous batches and been successful; I think I just felt like there wasn’t enough room for error in regard to lye impurities etc. due to this recipe being 0% SF. I’ll try it with a smaller batch at some point and maybe compare the 2 recipes. Maybe...🤪

I’m new to posting and figuring out how to use this forum, so I’m not even sure how to do that! I went DEEP down the rabbit hole of “Zany’s No Slime Castile “ last night!! 1:30 a.m. and then didn’t sleep because I was planning my soap all night! I’m excited about this recipe! Thank you for...

I had already ordered the EDTA when I discovered it’s not as good for the environment , so I’m going to use it up. We have horribly hard water here so I’m not sure SG alone is enough. I was thinking about using SG and citric acid but didn’t trust myself with the CA and lye math, being that this...

My 1st time making @Zany_in_CO no slime Castile. I added EDTA and Sodium Gluconate to the oils and used black pepper & bergamot FO. Fingers crossed it works with my addition of both chelators with a new recipe!😂🤦🏽‍♀️ I have tried SG and citric acid in a couple other recipes and had good luck...

😂My dream destination!

Thanks for the additional input! I’m waiting on my order of EDTA, Sodium Gluconate and lanolin and then I have a recipe planned and waiting that incorporates a lot of these suggestions. I will give your recipe a go also and then I can compare them. I’ll let everyone know how they work out when...

Yes, I actually have been following that thread about Kennas article. I think it’s what finally lead me to ask my own questions to the forum! I’m recognizing that those average and typical fatty acid profiles just aren’t working for me and I needed to step out of that box but didn’t know where...

OMGosh! Thank you for all of the great tips and advice! DeeAnna, I kept trying to reply to your original post today and couldn't seem to get it in the correct place. I haven't quite figured out how this forum works for posting and replying. lol I guess I have had it in my head that kaolin clay...

Desert...😂.
