I made my first ever salt soap yesterday. Erm, yeah, well, I suppose they’ll make great homemade Christmas gifts even if they aren’t exactly pretty... As soon as I added my salt it stiffened so much I could barely spoon it into the moulds.
The recipe I used was from the Brambleberry Milk Soap book.
612g Coconut Oil
76g Sweet Almond Oil
37g Kokum Butter
37g Castor Oil
179g Distilled Water
108g Lye
28g Geranium Fragrance (My house smells delicious!)
2 tsp Titanium Dioxide mixed with 2 tbsp Sweet Almond Oil
74g Milk
680g Dendritic Salt
Sprinkling of pink himalayan salt to decorate
It was all going fine until the salt went in then it just turned into a big crusty mass...
Should I half the amount of salt?
I’ve seem videos of people making salt soap with this much salt and they can still pour it into their mould.
Maybe my beginners luck is beginning to wear off.
