Welcome, this is a great place to share and get fed. I have found most of all of my questions and doubts answered here. :)

I thought that sugar makes soap seize?

I thought soap seize with sugar...

What I meant was, I use soybean to give me that extra added oil to complete my batch. I have had more people give me negative thoughts on the soy oil; so I need to look at some other oils to fill in the reminder of my oils to complete my batch, besides the DOS issue.

ok, so I will see where I can buy some. I certain that its all over the place.Thanks for your feedback:bunny:

I made a test batch without Kaolin. I also realized that the eo is a blend. The blend that I have been using is 80% lavender eo and 20% cedar eo. But in this batch I used just lavender eo, no blend and no kaolin. For some reason the tops of my soaps have been soft. I realized that I have...

what does it do?

Soap making is so inconsistent.....I have not had an issue with DOS till last year. When I thought I had all the answers, I get a new question thrown at me. :cry::cry::cry:. I am going to do a test batch today and I will leave out the clay to start. Thanks for all the feedback from every one.
