Nevermind. It is zappy. Will this go away? I began the cure in the fridge and took it out of the fridge yesterday and it began to develop the weeping. Is there anything I can do? What would cause this?

Did not add glycerine. It isn't zappy...

My most recent batch is weeping around the swirls. It seems to be oil (slippery to touch). Any insight?

Thank you!

How long does a CPOP batch need to cure?

I did freeze the coconut milk... I made gm soap without any smell... Here is hoping it smooths out :-)

I have successfully made milk soap in the past, but the last few times have been iffy. I attempted to make coconut milk soap last night but it did some weird things. I added the lye very slowly (over hrs) to the milk. It began to get chunkyand thick and had the ammonia smell I have heard...

Great! Thanks! :)

I honestly do not know what a swizzle stick is...

Picked up some ingredients that I want to try for my next batch of soap but am wondering if I can use them. 1st one is Lard. Ingredients listed: Lard and hydrogenated lard, BHA, propyl gallate and citric acid to help protect flavor 2nd one is canned coconut milk. Ingredients: Coconut...

I am pretty excited about it. Who knows, it might be the cure for wrinkles :-) I would only use my own milk or a close friend's. This batch is for personal use. It acted funky when i mixed it with the lye in comparison to goat milk. I think it had more fat than GM so it became chunky but it...

Thanks everyone! I am just looking for that extra oomph. KWIM? :-)

Can I use fresh herbs in soap? I know I can do infusions but can i just use chopped herbs to give my soap a unique quality? I am thinking cilantro with a light lime fragrance specifically...

The soap in question was a beer soap so I used 38% water.... here is hoping time will help...

I have been having partial gel problems so I tried leaving the mold with soap in the freezer for 2 days instead of one. It worked with the gel aspect but I removed the soap from the mold and put out to cure. Went back to flip and it was a gooey mess. Today it is better but still gooey and now...

Thats great. Any insight on speeding up water evaporation from my gooey soap?

I LOVE that subtle swirl! Mind sharing how you did that?

We are 3 weeks into the cure and the soap is still very soft. It is hard to describe but the outside feels hard but when you press it indents easily. Is there a way I can speed up the water evaporation process of curing? Like putting it in the oven?

Great! Thanks!
