Yesterday I made salted out "Aleppo" soap with 20% Laurel Berry oil.
I begun like with CP. I poured at trace into silicone molds and let it set for some time. Then I put it into oven and forced gelling.
That soap I dissolved into a lot of water. It looked like a slightly green juice more than soap. After that I saturated with salt so the soap would rise. This I spooned into a strainer. The remaining brine had a bit of brown color. Again I dissolved the soap and salted out. This time the brine was clear.
After the crud has been in a strainer for some time stabilizing I spooned it over to a textile bag and into the laundry machine it went for centrifuge.
After the centrifuge, the soap mass was dry enough to form into soaps. This I did with a PVC pipe and two wood pieces. I pressed one at the time.
Here is the result! So much work for 4 pieces of soap, but nice soap it is! The hands are so soft after!
