I'm currently working on my own CP soap recipe after using a basic 80/20 olive oil/coconut oil recipe for a long time.
I'm noticing that with the recipe I'm currently using my soap is staying EXTREMELY soft for a very long time and is really hard to unmould and I was wondering if anyone here would have any feedback on the recipe I'm using.
My recipe:
58% Olive oil
20% Coconut oil
5% Avocado oil
5% Hemp seed oil
5% Rice bran oil
5% shea butter
2% castor oil
2:1 water to lye ratio, 287g water and 143g lye
I have also been adding 2 teaspoons of sodium lactate in my batches, which has helped some but I'm still losing the corners of my loaves when unmoulding, and this is usually 48 hours after pouring!
Do I just need to be more patient or should I think about tweaking my recipe?
