Hi,
I made liquid soap, cold process, 6:3:1 pomace: coconut: palm, thicken with salt at 3% of soap water weight. The salt itself was dilluted in water as 25% salt water. It only took 1-2 min of stirring before it went thicker. It ended up good, thick, rather cloudy, and lather well.
It was a small batch tho, I ended up with around 800ml soap.
Now I made large batch of 4 liters soap water, exactly the same soap. After I thicken it with 3% salt, it didn't thicken and ended up milky. What went wrong? I thought if I follow exactly 3%, it won't past the salt curve and I'll immediately ended up with thick soap. Does it take longer time to thicken large batch?
