Hi,
I have two soaps both used the same EVOO. Both the same recipe but with three variables (yes, I know! I've already endured the lecture on scientific process).
Both 1000g = 2.4 lb.
The "hard one"' had 2 tsp of salt and 10g Citric Acid.
The "hard one" had water only and 30% lye concentration
The "slimy one" had 1 tsp of salt and 10g Citric Acid.
The "slimy one" had GM for 1/2 of the water + 150 g GM powder and 33% lye concentration.
Is it possible that the GM led to a soft, almost slimy feel?
Does CA react with GM?
Does an extra tsp of salt make that much difference?
