Thank you, I’ve started including sodium lactate on every batch now. I did my fourth batch today but I’m not unmolding for at least 24 hours. How long is too long?

Actually it might be the fact I used too much oatmeal?

I just don’t know what that texture issue thing is, ash? Or did I cut it too soon?

This is my second batch I made yesterday. Any advice is welcome. Is there something wrong with it?

I might have used to much castor oil, I can’t wait to cut it!

Does anyone have a good supplier for violet fragrance oil? I want something that reminds me of the old fashioned violet candies my grandma used to give me.

Thank you for this useful information. I’ve watched so many soap videos and they like to tell you what temp they soap at but nothing about gel phase. If you choose to just keep your soap out and not refrigerate/freeze it then does it not go through gel? Or is it a crapshoot?

Thank you. Yes, I’ve been watching all soap making videos for about 3 months now. I like the small batch idea and I was thinking about keeping is simple.

I’m getting started in making cold process and I want to know what are the basics you think I need to start with? I have a list in brambleberry, nurture and amazon. Any tips? Thanks in advance
