What about palm kernel flakes? I heard it hardens cp soaps but what about mp soaps?

Hmm that’s really interesting. I’m disappointed this base isn’t working out for me

Hmm tbh I doubt a lot of them that I purchase from do all of that lol I’m going to try adding some stearic acid to the base

When I buy soap from soap makers who use Stephenson’s soap base, the bars are hard. I’m wondering if they add something to it.

Hmm I usually use the sls/sled free Stephenson soap. I’m not sure if that’s the reason? I’m thinking to just stick with crafters choice now.
