I have never really been interested in making salt soap bars, but after a number of years making soap thought I would give it a go, because everyone says how great they are on the skin, and I am always up for being a lab rat for something new.
However I think, there has been a gremlin in the works. It didn't set up quickly like I expected. It is hard now but it is leaking water. Now I don't know if it is the recipe or the fact it is winter here and the weather is cooler or if the salt is just leaching the water out of the soap.
This is the recipe I used..
600g Coconut Oil
200g Palm Oil
150g Olive Oil
50g Castor Oil
300 mls water.
Think next time I am going to use maybe just coconut and a bit of castor oil.
