I want a soap to use for housecleaning, and the idea was to use 100% canola/rapeseed to keep it local-ish. However, that gave me a ”cleansing” value of 0, so I added some coconut.
This is my recipe:
My plan is to follow the method DeeAnna describes in this thread https://www.soapmakingforum.com/threads/formulating-liquid-soap.69070/ in short: soap with hot oils and lye solution, then treat it like Cold Process and just let it sit.
Questions:
Will canola ”keep” in a liquid soap with minimal superfat? I know it gets DOS easily in bar soap, will it go rancid in liquid soap?
I don’t really care if the soap is perfectly clear, but if it’s not, how do I know
when it’s done?
If you think of something else that I haven’t thought to ask about, please let me know!
