    Lard, Goat Milk, Sorbitol, Sodium Gluconate and Sodium Lactate

    Thank you, cmzaha! I’m using frozen GM. So I figured I’d have to add the lye to create a solution then add the sorbitol and sodium Gluconate to that mixture. Then after that concoction cools down, add the sodium lactate. Does that sound right? Also how much Sorbitol do you use with GM?

    80% Lard recipe breaks up like chocolate when cutting after 2 days...

    I'm trying to satisfy my curiosity about what 100% lard soap would be like since that's what our ancestors had to use. While I didn't make a 100% batch, because I felt compelled to use castor oil, I did make a tiny test batch of 95% Lard with 5% castor oil. In other concessions to modernity I...

    Ah! Thanks for the explanation, C. Now I understand what happened to one of my soaps that came out of the silicone loaf mold pitted all over.
