    PH testing- with Turmeric ?

    Hey, Has anyone heard/tried using TURMERIC for testing PH in their soaps ? I just saw a youtube, saying it has more reliability compared to the red-cabbage Ph test. Give your ideas and how you do your PH soap test ?

    What happens if we use soap without curing ?

    Hey guys 1) Is it dangerous if i use a soap after just few days without waiting for weeks ? Can the lye still be there ? 2) I sometimes do ph testing with tip of tongue, is it ok ? 3) If a soap zaps on my tongue testing, does that mean I should not use it at all ? Or i wait for it to cure ?
