Extremely helpful stuff. Many thanks🫶🏾

What's in rice bran oil that increases the soap's longevity? Amazing advice thank you.

Yes, it is a cost thing😭 but if reducing castor oil still doesn't make much of a difference then I will purchase olive oil. How do you steam soap??

Oh I see... If I reduce castor oil by 10% do you recommend I add it onto the cocoa butter or almond oil? Or coconut? I use water:Lye ratio which is 2:1. My total weight is 1128.79 Very helpful stuff. I don't have olive oil right now but do you think it would improve the recipe? I've read that...

Thank you so much! I didn't realise that the oil would have been the biggest culprit. Will definitely re-formulate. Okay so since I've added my preservative, do you think I can melt and add a few ingredients that will harden it up? Or just start from scratch :/

I did but she uses SLSa which creates a harder bar

I tried making a shampoo bar with rice flour. I made it as simple as possible (no gardeners or thickeners) just to see the true effect of rice flour. It's now been 4 days of drying and the shampoo is still soft (like play dough). What do you recommend to harden it? I'm thinking maybe stearic...
