Since mid-summer of last year I believe....and no, I've never encountered DOS from using hydrogenated soybean oil in my soap and I've been using it in my recipe since 2006. The interesterified is softer than the original product and so I had concerns that perhaps my soaps would end up being...

This is fairly common - don't top off the tubes because the top layer won't bind with the lower layer and eventually the two will separate while being used. The easy fix for this is: as the mix starts to cool in the tubes and settle, run your heat gun (or perhaps a hair dryer if you don't have...

Not that it probably helps as I'm not sure what you are looking for or why but I use the interesterified soy shortening in my soap recipe (not by choice but because SC no longer carries the normal hydrogenated stuff. It is softer and has a lower melting point but hasn't seemed to effect the...
