Hey everyone!
So I have been making soap for years but I am still learning. My recipe that I created is awesome and Ive been using it for a few years. Lye calculator checks out at 5% superfat
My problem is partial gel in my soaps. Those pieces that have a partial gel are without a doubt harsher on the skin. To be honest not all parts of the skin but spicy when washing the bum lol. I am wondering why? I have researched gelled soap vs non gelled soap and it seems like its only an aesthetic issue.
Why are the bars with non gelled parts that are opaque on the outside of the mold harsh but the middle gelled bars are luxurious and perfect?
