It's a bit tough on our hands once the weather gets cold, and I would like to add the water soluble Shea to it, but I've never been able to find any. Do you mind sharing where you have found It?

There is no water to evaporate out either as is another reason for curing cold process soap. However, many people think that the soap becomes milder over time. Also, it is a good idea to allow the finished soap to sit for a bit to allow any unsaponifiables to settle out of solution.Faith Orioldhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07506867106085799485noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4338942671670735223.post-55384687389013923822017-09-12T11:54:01.202-05:002017-09-12T11:54:01.202-05:00Is there a curing period when making liquid soap l...Is there a curing period when making liquid soap like bar soap?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4338942671670735223.post-74010221618641338952017-04-20T16:21:42.453-05:002017-04-20T16:21:42.453-05:00I have tried this several times and I don't kn...I have tried this several times and I don't know what I am doing wrong.

First batch I didn't mix to a paste, just to like a real thick pudding. It never got any thicker after about 6 hours in double boiler. After diluting, I did do a borax neutralizer. After sequestering for 2 weeks, I had about 3 inches of a light creamy top layer, and the clear brown on the bottom half of each jar. <br />I have the second batch cooking now, and made sure the batch was thick and pasty before cooking. After almost 3 hours, it has thinned out somewhat like the last batch. <br /><br />Not sure if there is something I am doing wrong.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14782100795248013665noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4338942671670735223.post-62311715875466972632016-12-01T10:51:07.588-06:002016-12-01T10:51:07.588-06:00Was wondering your thoughts on eliminating the dis...Was wondering your thoughts on eliminating the distilled water and just using goat's milk for the total liquid.<br />Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14782100795248013665noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4338942671670735223.post-15929505436752533052016-11-16T08:04:25.737-06:002016-11-16T08:04:25.737-06:00Thanks so much!

If you have sediment and need to strain it out, you will also lose a bit of the finished soap in that process - not a lot, but some.

Some people believe that the pH is high enough to inhibit the growth of bacteria, yeast and mold yet it is also known that some bacteria can grow in high pH products. Any time you add ingredients/additives that can be considered "bug" food (food products, proteins, botanicals, etc.) you run a higher risk of a bacteria, yeast or mold developing in your soap. If you choose to add a preservative, you need to make sure it is one that can handle the high pH of liquid soap - most are not effective over a pH of 8 which liquid soap will always be. There are very few out there (suttocide A is one) AND the amount of preservative you use is based on your completely diluted soap at usage rates specified by the manufacturer.Faith Orioldhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07506867106085799485noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4338942671670735223.post-72424997667191322082016-08-16T11:17:31.188-05:002016-08-16T11:17:31.188-05:00Yes, I was wondering about adding a preservative t...Yes, I was wondering about adding a preservative to this soap.

I have been making liquid soap for about 4 years, and have wanted to try making some with goat's milk for a long time, so thank you soooo much for sharing!! It all makes perfect sense, but I have one question, where can I find water soluble shea butter? I am very intrigued with that, as I have never heard of it! Does it superfat as well, or just help with the clarity? Thanks so much!!

You can also use a product called glycol distearate or glycol stearate (I use it at 3% of diluted soap weight) to opacify your soap. I find that using animal fats also gives you soap a pearly effect depending on the amounts used.<br />Faith Orioldhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07506867106085799485noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4338942671670735223.post-20670818031496099462014-11-22T23:24:04.438-06:002014-11-22T23:24:04.438-06:00Thank you for the great post!

If you are making liquid soap for the first time, you will want to start with a single lye, limited number of oils formula. I would start here:<br /><br />http://alaiynab.blogspot.com/2013/03/how-i-create-liquid-soaps-and-shampoos.html<br /><br />and here:<br /><br />http://alaiynab.blogspot.com/2013/09/adventures-in-liquid-soapmaking-hints.html<br /><br />first. Start small and learn the techniques and stages a soap paste will go through first before adding other elements (glycerin, milks, dual lyes) to the process. It makes troubleshooting your soap easier too.Faith Orioldhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07506867106085799485noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4338942671670735223.post-77026997392401151822014-05-29T10:21:03.184-05:002014-05-29T10:21:03.184-05:00Hello, this is going to be my first time making li...Hello, this is going to be my first time making liquid soap. When it gels how much do you take out to make a jar. After its dark brown do you add water then or add the paste to cool in a jar because your looks loose in the jar not like the past in the pot. How much Glycerin do I put in and do I add water at the end.<br />tashambradshaw@gmail.comhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02684915430933261426noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4338942671670735223.post-65753583420249780302014-05-21T09:38:21.705-05:002014-05-21T09:38:21.705-05:00Love it!
