Dear fellow soapers, I have made yoghurt soap before very successfully by freezing it in ice cubes with the water and using this to dissolve the lye. However, I would like to try adding the yoghurt to my oils before adding the lye, as I have read on this forum, I think this will be easier than the freezing route. My question is: does the yoghurt cause the warm, melted oils to get too cold?
I had a bad soap day last weekend when my oils were too cold and I did not get proper saponification, instead had an oily strange mess that I had to try and resurrect.
I realize I am not yet experienced enough to work without a thermometer, so really want to get this batch right. Any suggestions regarding temperature of the oils together with yoghurt will be much appreciated.
Thank you
