I used fresh frozen cubes of coconut milk. I replaced the water for “lye solution” for the frozen coconut milk cubes. And, no I don’t heat the oils up to 150F and fully cool. I do melt the coconut oil and add my other oils to that. That’s interesting in...
I made a CP coconut milk and turmeric soap(unscented). I didn’t CPOP it but I did cover it with a towel and small piece of cardboard to avoid the towel from falling in and hopes of not getting soda ash. I do believe it gelled and it started to get too hot so I moved it somewhere cooler(I don’t...
