Hmmm so added 5% sorbitol to my lye solution and made a mint soap and a orange patchouli soap. Both having same percentage of oil n butters. The Patchouli soap took some time to harden. And yes i did find the soaps sweating after 4 wks cure... Mint soap was ok after 6 wks... Patchouli was still...
Hi DeeAnna,
Thank you for the helpful insight! I have put the Himalayan salt grains om top (just one side) and they are leaking salt water... Is it ok to remove them now? My soap is cut yesterday... Will never put them again....
For you AliOop and all the lovely soapers here... An ode to you... My Avocado and shea butter with coconut milk soap! I am in love with the marbling effects ❤️
Amazing soap.. love it! You mentioned green clay ... Is it french green clay you used? Any suggestions on Fragrance or EO apart from eucalyptus and mint? Thank you❤️
Thanks AliOop .. will order refined shea and cocoa butter ... The color is brownish while melting the butters ... Yes patchouli does give a golden orange tint.. but i am talking about the point when i melt the butters even before adding the lye, yes TO2 is on my friends list on making the colour...
Probably so... Just checked my shea looks golden brown and not white.. and says raw shea.. has a distinct nutty amd smoky smell.. maybe i should heat it less? Even cocoa butter says raw and not white
