I've made the following receipe:
500g lard
390g rapeseed
100g coconut
10g castor oil
330g water
134g lye
To this I added 10g vitamin e oil at trace, 30g each of pumice powder and oatmeal
I put in a low oven for 1 hour and then left in the oven to cool overnight.
It has now been 72 hours since the soap was made and I cannot cut it. It crumbles. The texture is worrying.
Tongue test suggests it's not lye heavy. I'm thinking of rebatching but I need to know what is wrong in order to rebatch successfully.
Has anyone any suggestions?
