There are about as many different ways to make LS as there are LS-ers! LOL We all seem to tweak our formulas to our personal preference. This is a good site for learning to make liquid soap online. Faith not only teaches the basics, but she answers many of the questions Newbies have about making liquid soap:

This is the exact recipe I used - her instructions are so clear and concise. Now I just have to figure out why my soap doesn’t suds (or sud - is sud a word?). ~ ; )

🤣 If "sud" isn't a word, it should be! "My soap doesn't sud" works for me. LOL

I can't help you without more information. My advice is to go over everything to make sure you didn't miss something... like using NaOH instead of KOH.

I used KOH but I believe now, after receiving input, my soap was too thick to sud. ~ ; )
 
Olive oil soap just does not make many suds, so for this problem you can add a little bit of cocamidopropyl betaine. It is a sudsing agent to help with this problem.
