    Shea and cocoa butter melting

    I have never used the microwave to melts my butters and I feel this is why folks have so much trouble with their Shea butter. In almost 20 years of soaping I have been blessed with never having a problem with Shea butter as I melt in low on the stove.

    How can you avoid inhaling Lye fumes?

    First batch dealing with bacuri butter.

    Cracking in your goat’s milk is due to soaping at too high of temperature. Soap cooler in 80 with no honey will help to avoid that.
