I think that is what it is called... it is coconut oil which is liquid. I ordered this by mistake and wondering if there is any differences when I make soap. I made a couple of batches and the soap when unmolded is a little softer. It is hardening up but... Also I had a batch which was...

Thank you very much. I will know better next time. Also i love the suggestion of shredding it into a white soap base. Excellent idea and will do it. Thanks to all.

2 tbsp cocoa in the lye water, 1 tbsp peppermint EO, chunks of an anise soap. 2.4oz lye, 6oz water, 10.5 oz olive oil, 5.2oz coconut oil, 1 tbsp castor oil. Thank you.

Did the soap make it to trace?

Thank you very much, I will check out those options today. I am looking forward to using this new mold. Dee
