Awww, I already buy both EDTA and sodium citrate. Hahaha. But I guess EDTA is easier to use since kevin dunn said sodium citrate should be combined with BHT in order to get best result against DOS, afaik.

As far as I know,sodium citrate can boost lather, be chelating agent and prevent DOS. But I have question. If I already add EDTA in the soap, it's fine to also add sodium citrate or will it be a waste?

Hello. I recently also tried to make mp base from scratch. I use the bonnie from goodearthspa method. And yes, the soap turns out suppeerr sweaty I live in tropical country so humid everyday. I'll try to exclude the glycerin next time. anyway, does 20% superfat way too much...

I see...thank you for the reply penelopejane and dixiedragon but maybe I'll do some experiment to test the transparent soap since it look pretty to be a face soap Actually lard is intriguing since it is said that lard make creamy and gentle soap. I already make one. 40%lard. And the soap...

I mean transparent soap in general. Oils, lye, solvents. Doesn't necessarily similar to pears. Maybe like simple combination of CO, PO and OO but make it transparent so it will be milder to the face?

would transparent/glycerin soap bar gentler/milder on the face? (since transparent soap is X% true soap and X% solvent which also act as moisturizer/humectant) I ask this bcoz my mom used to use pears soap to wash her face when she was young. Any insight? thank you :D

@TwoHippies to throw I mean throw it in the garbage. :D as for now, I use it only to grease my mold until I know what is the other 50% "mystery" oil >_< @dixiedragon yeah...the problem is, this balabala shop isn't that reputable I guess. I mention it at the 1st post that before I have purchased...

Thx for the response dixiedragon. I don't think I can get refund since I'm the one who didn't buy carefully. Since they say it's cosmetic grade, yes maybe I can use it in lotion or lipbalm. That a nice idea! But...the other 50% oil is actually still a mystery. Maybe I just have to throw it

Hello everybody! First, I want to say Happy belated New Year 2016. Hope all the best for you all :D Okay, now, the problem I got is, sometimes ago I bought castor oil in this so called chemical store. Let's call this store balabala shop. Before, I have bought castor oil at reputable...

I wonder how does the result of the experiment. Can't wait :D

Hello seven. I think I know who is she, I guess. Couple months ago I want to try some real CP soap and afterwards compare some seller, (include yourself :D) I found that so far, handmade soap is averagely about $2.5-3 and this lady you talk about has the cheapest. And yes, I buy her soap X)...

@seawolfe I got it from local chemical store. This is glycerin and not to be confuse with glycerin mp soap :D It's just there are 3 types of glycerin as far as I know. Vegetable, animal and petrochemical It is in used plastic bottle. I guess the store have glicerin in bulk (maybe in barrel)...

My recipe (100gr oil): castor 12gr coconut 25gr olive 28 gr palm 35 KOH 23 gr water 23gr glicerine 46gr I used the 'more glycerine' method by DeeAnna. When I use the vegetable glycerin, it turn out well. And when I try with the 'just' glicerine, it's a mess. Both still can...

Hello everyone. I want to share something about glycerin. Sometimes ago I make liquid soap with vegetable glycerin and it turn out well. A week ago, I buy glycerin (not vegetable glycerin, just glycerin). It's cheaper than VG. I start using it to make liquid soap and it's messy...

I see, like using lipbalm? Really nice idea! Thx for the replay susie.
