This weekend I tried a new recipe to try to find something I liked with all this RBO from Lowe’s sale
35% lard
35% RBO
25% CO
5% castor
Sf 5%
28.7% lye concentration
Oils were at 100°F and lye water solution was at about 120°
Colors are 2 purple micas mixed in a little bit of the batch oils at light trace
I mixed WSP’s butterfly orchid into the purple batches and hand stirred them in
I tried to do a drop swirl but it got a bit ploppy.
I didn’t insulate it, I didn’t spray it with alcohol
I unloaded after 24hrs, i think prematurely, it was a little soft. Let it sit for another 24 before cutting
I for sure have ash on the top of it, a discolored weird purple
But is the discoloration in the white ash from it being exposed to the air for the last 24 hrs? Is the yellowish white the true white and the lighter white ash?
Is this a bad recipe for RBO? This is my first soap with both RBO and also my first soap with lard
