I took a big break after my soap every day for 30 days back in march and april. now all the soaps are well cured and stacked up in the bath, I use them all and can review the results. Of the 30 experiments i love about 3 but am only really sure of one. So, I made that yesterday. It is an olive 30% coconut 15% tallow 30% lard 20% and castor 5% with 1 t ppo of sugar and 1 t ppo of salt in half the water so it dissolved this time. Color is 1/2 t. blue oxide ppo and 1/8 t. of activated charcoal per pound. I scented it with 1/2 oz. of lavender/rosemary ppo, I think that was 3%. I love this soap! I delivered a few bars to a new point of sale yesterday, I figure it will disappear fast so I optimistically made more!
Compared to my old vegan formula it is relatively slow to trace and I left it in the mold a second day. Then it was kind of soft, so I was careful with it, but it sure slid out of the mold easily. It will get very hard.
