Hello, this is my first time here, and i have a question regarding oil and lye mixture.
I've been trying to make a castile soap with potassium hydroxide and coconut oil + olive oil.
But, the mixture won't mix when i tried to mix the lye and both oil. I stir it with magnetic stirring bar.
Here is my recipe :
Olive Oil : 6 gr
Coconut Oil : 4 gr
Lye Solution
KOH : 2 gr
Aquades : 9 gr
First i mix the coconut oil and olive oil, then i heat it until 70'C
While also, making KOH solution with said recipe.
After the oil reached 70'C, i pour the lye solution to the oil. At first it is looked like mixed, after 10 minutes stirring i turned off the stirring, and there's 2 layer in the mixture.
Is there something wrong? Why won't it be a creamy ?
