I've tried this recipe a couple different ways with the same results.
Its basically 50% olive oil with 20% coconut oil 10% shea 10% Cocoa butter 10% castor.
This recipe sets up like quickset!
I'm still quite new to soaping. So my first couple of tries at any soaping recipe, was basically a bastille soap prepared at room temp oils. 99% of them turned out well. However, the amount of coconut oil for some (25%) seemed a little drying. Plus my wife loves shea and cocoa butter. So I plugged in a recipe(the one posted above) and decided to make a soap using this recipe. I used bay rum fragrance.
The first time I made it with oils and lye around 80-90 degrees. It started to get hard quickly so I got it in the mold. Everyone loved the soap.
The next time I made it, I had read that sometimes the hard oils can speed up trace at lower temps. So I made it at higher temp 100-110. Same quick set.
The next time I made it with a different fragrance. Same quick set.
The next time I made it with goats milk & lye, instead of water & lye. Same quick set.
Folk love the soap and how it feels on their skin. I'd just like to do more design with it, swirls and such.
Oh the other things I tried was mixing just to emulsion of oils, not to light trace or anything. Still quick set.
Any suggestions or help is gladly appreciated. You all have helped me so much!!!
