    Crumbly Salt Bar… What went wrong

    I attempted to make a small batch of salt soap for the first time today. I did 80% coconut oil, 5% castor oil, and 15% olive oil with 20% superfat. Lye:water ratio was 1:1.8 and I soaped at room temperature. I also added 1 small spoon of green clay to the oils. I added a fragrance oil calculated...

    2018Apr31 - 2019July24 In Hawaii

    Salt Soap (1:1 salt:oils) humidity effect test: 2019July24 in Hawaii; soap is 15 months of age; at 4 weeks, the humidity in Hawaii resulted in this kind of beading within a much shorter timeframe; Conclusion: Longer exposure to humidity needed after a longer cure

    All coconut salt bar

    I have been wanting to try a salt bar and possibly a 100% coconut oil soap with 20%sf. Most of the salt bar recipes call for large percentages of co so I decided to combine these curiosities. Having never used either, I was expecting a scrubby bar of creamy lathering soap. What I got just feels...

    I want to make a CP salt/spa bar and have a salt layer on bottom, but I want to do the reg recipe on top where the flower design is, (which means on bottom since I'll be pouring into the silicone sunflower molds.)

    Salt bars w/Kelp meal?

I've been going outside of my safety soaper zone alot lately with all sorts of fun things and i just can't get the salt bar with kelp meal out of my mind. I mean this...

    OMG salt soap! And a gradient!

    So again copious notes because I am a nubcake. And lousy pics because I insist on doing cell phone pics in-situ. Apologies if I'm not loading the pictures right. I had been reading all about salt bars and settled on making one last night. I'm supposed to be waiting for my shipment from SMR to...

    Immediately Rebatched Salt Bars

    Has anyone ever re-batched salt bars within 24 hours of making them? Yesterday I made salt bars for the first time and used 1:1 salt to oil ratio. When I tried to take them out of the silicone molds this morning they were super crumbly. So I decided that since it wasn't a super large batch I...

Tonight I am experimenting with...

    Salt Bars Leaking

    I have never really been interested in making salt soap bars, but after a number of years making soap thought I would give it a go, because everyone says how great they are on the skin, and I am always up for being a lab rat for something new. However I think, there has been a gremlin in the...
