I’ve recently made some soap which I added grated coconut to. When I cut the soap, there were some small white flecks that were too small and clustered to be coconut. I zap tested it and I couldn’t feel anything. But it’s bothering me. Help? Here it is. The coconut is the brown part (it wasn’t...

Heya everyone!🥰 Just wondering, has anyone made a batch of soap with 100% canola oil? I attempted it on Friday and it’s still in the mold (I just used a milk box) and it’s still soft at the top mostly. Have you tried this? How did it work out for you?

Here’s what they look like. They’re quite hard and doing the zap test, it felt fine. (Whack shapes because I used a milk box and cut them up with a knife 😹)

Ohhhh ok, I put the frozen milk in an ice bath and slowly added the lye and I didn’t get the separation so 🤷🏽‍♀️ Well, yes, but it doesn’t include the coconut milk part. I just learned how to add lye to milk and I added milk to the recipe in the place of water

But when you heat coconut milk, it becomes oil🥺 in my country, we grate coconuts, squeeze the milk and boil it until it separates and forms oil in the bottom and husk at the top☺️ are you 100% sure?🥺 (Please don’t think I’m annoying 🥺 I’m a newbie and I just got here an hour ago and I need some...

okie dokie☺️ today I attempted coconut milk shampoo bars 🥺 but does anyone know if the heat from the gel phase will make coconut milk become oil?

I’ve recently made a batch of coconut milk shampoo bars using the coconut milk ice cubes to make a lye solution. I wasn’t aware that the gel phase would occur if I left it where the temp was high so it gelled when I didn’t want it to. What I want to know is, will the heat produced in the gel...
