    Too soft soap

    Oh, sorry, that's not a "second recipe" but just the recipe I used translated into SoapCal to let show Wheat Germ oil. I don't intend to use it as a new recipe. Thanks for this information. I hadn't in mind the expected duration with this kind of recipe. But that makes sense, and I should have...

    Too soft soap

    THANKS a lot for this tip. I didn't use the "Water as percent of oil weight" but something in the water weight range the second calculator gave - with no mastery of the impacts, especially combined with high superfat. I'll make sure to use this setting for now on.👍 Thanks for this...

    Too soft soap

    Too soft soap

    Hi there! I've made my 8th soap batch last week, and it's the first time I encounter not hardening soap. Here is my recipe: Olive oil: 601g Coconut oil: 300g Hazelnut oil: 100g I used a combination of soapcalc and a French soap calculator to determine lye mass according to these parameters...

    Hi there!

    Hi everyone! I'm Stéphanie from France and I begun soapmaking last fall. I am only into cold process soapmaking (even if I made hot process soap by error...) and I'm learning about liquid soap making - I've read it should be hot process soap. I've got questions about my latest recipe, that I'll...
