I'm diluting a batch of HPLS today, for a special order.. it's looking so beautiful!! I've had a few issues with cloudiness lately, so I ran my recipe through a different calculator, which helped.. then I upped the LTE just a smidge... and I think that I will be VERY happy today!

Thanks, Zany - I actually don't use PS 80 - I use PS 20, with no issues; I make cleaning supplies, but was just commenting on the OP, so yes, I missed Deanna's experiment :-)

Could the jojoba be added after dilution? Since its primarily wax, and mimics the sebum of the skin, perhaps adding it after dilution in small quantities could help with moisturizing? Just hypothesizing here, but maybe it would work...

I find that some EOs come out very strong in LS, so I recommend starting with a lower dilution rate, and letting your LS sit for a day or two. It's always easier to add more, than to try and correct over scented soap. You could also try a test, and put small amounts of LS into jars, then add...

I generally use EOs to fragrance my LS; have always added at room temp, with a 1:1 blend of EO to polysorbate 20. The only time I have clumping issues, is when I use citrus oils - which usually clears itself up within a day or two. I also have my LS in a jug, so I can agitate it from time to...

Exactly the kind of day I'm having, lol!! Of course I mean that I love seeing the creativity of other soapers!

A paper bag will help, but I once had a professor say that putting them on top of a fridge would work well. It has something to do with activating the enzymes that ripen the bananas. Good luck!

Thank you foe the reply! I just did a zap test, and no zap! So.. I just have white paste? Should I expect this to be cloudy with dilution, or will the soap faeries be with me and make it clear? TBD, I guess ❤

Hi all! Very new to this forum, and grateful that it exists; yesterday, I tried making a test batch of CP liquid soap paste - recipe is as follows: Castor oil, 20% (3.2oz) Coconut 76, 80% (12.8oz) Distilled H2O, 12.9oz KOH 90% 4.3oz I stick blended, and hit thick trace all of a sudden - to me...
