Thank you all so much for your help!

I do have one more question before I proceed with liquid soap again. I looked at the recipe that you suggested, and I am going to try it. However, I was wondering if it is necessary to use the glycerin to make this soap to the consistency that I want, or is it okay to use water during the...

That is good to know, Thank you

Thanks, I have found your info very helpful

I made liquid soap recently and it came out rather thin. The fragrance oil thickened it some but not to my liking. I used 40% coconut oil, 30% Olive oil, 10% Meadowfoam Seed Oil, and 20% castor oil. I hot processed it quite nicely and it produced a nice clear liquid soap that was not lye heavy...

Thanks for this bit of advice. I added my fragrance to my soap when it was cooled. It turned cloudy. So I decided to try heating it after the fact. It is now clear, but still warm. I will have to see how it does as it cools. But hopefully it should turn out fine. I will post as to how it goes.
