Oh yes I didn't change the weight. Silly me. I will bring that down to a smaller amount for testing. We are just about to move house so will test once my new soap room is all set up. I'm thinking I will test Rice Bran and then Sunflower just to see which I like better. I think the cost of Cocoa...

Yes I believe this is a big reason for why. I have a friend here who has used many handmade soaps before so I am going to ask her to test it and see what she thinks of these for me as she has experienced it before. I didn't have much of a problem with the extra feeling of it and the longer wash...

Okay so if I stick with my Olive Oil cut the Coconut Oil and add some Castor at a low rate and then some type of butter that might help with some issues? As well as decreasing my water by a bit? Sounds good to me and I'm happy to experiment a bit more too :) I did a quick change up with some...

This is my recipe.

Help! I made a couple of blocks of soap and I've gone to finally use my first one. It's cold process and my ingredients are Olive Oil, Coconut Oil, Shea Butter and Sweet Almond Oil. I'm finding that it's quite sticky after washing with it. So to explain further it is a bit harder to wash off vs...
