Okay, thanks

Okay I will stop trying to dissolve sugar in the oil lol

It is liquid soap that I want to use as a base for shampoo

My soap contains sugar that I tried to melt into oils. I think I put too much because it didn't dissolve all the way. It also contains black seeds and activated charcoal. I've used the soap and there wasn't any bad reactions so I don't think it's lye, but what is it? Or is it lye?

I used potassium and sodium hydroxide and used less than the amount that I was supposed to for the recipe. I want to rebatch the soap. Do I need to add more lye when rebatching this soap? Also why did the soap not turn black when I used fine activated charcoal? The oils I used were ucuuba, shea...

It doesn't seem to be sweating. I just took it out of the mold so the sides are a bit sticky. Does it seem okay or will I have to rebatch it?

Okay, thanks

I don't know if I mixed up long enough. I put water and aloe vera gel together to make the lye solution. I then added it to my oils that had just been melting so everything was very hot. I didn't use a thermometer. So when I added the lye solution to the oils it became oily and lumpy and thick...
