Hi there,
Any tips please?
I'm making a lovely kids soap - gorgeous and mild, creamy wonderful. Anyway, I'm finding that some (not all) batches are spoiling after only 4 or 5 weeks. The ingredients are:
Coconut, olive, palm, castor, shea butter, almond, avocado. I'm adding Vit e at 0.1% just before adding lye to oils - but this doesnt seem to be doing the trick every time:(
Any help please?!? Am really worried
 
Are any of your ingredients (especially almond) near to their expiration date? Or are you bringing your oils to a very high temperature prior to soaping? Are you curing them in a damp place?

Any of those can cause DOS...
 
Hi there, thanks for the reply.
Am curing in a dry place, ambient temp thanks. I dont think my oils are near the expiration date - and i guess if they were it wouldnt explain why only some batches are spoiling and not others. Perhaps i'm heating them too high/too quickly....? Will investigate that perhaps. Thanks for the tips. Any advice much appreciated
