Hi all
Yesterday I tried my firstish HP in a crock pot. I made some shaving soap this weekend with the crock pot and yesterdays batch was my first HP bar soap attempt.
Recipe:
Palm oil 35%
Olive oil 30%
Coconut oil 25%
Castor 5%
Pistachio oil 5%
I used soapcalc for the lye calculation with NaOH
The cook smelled like beef tallow and maybe I cooked it too long. 45 min total for 40 oz. But it came out looking fine today when I unmolded it.
It did come out two toned as you can see in the pics. I put some baby oil on the inside of the pvc to help removal and am wondering if that would account for the coloring.
Smells like soap, not tallow.
Any ideas about the coloring?
Thanks all
