Dear all, this is an update. I finally got my PKO, and made my liquid soap using the same recipe in post #9. I just changed the coconut oil with PKO. It turned out very clear, and I think I can feel it is better, a bit gentler, than the one with the same amount of Coconut oil. With 18% coconut...

hooraaaay .. OMG I am so happy. I had made liquid soaps before that ended up separated badly. I used the clear part at the bottom and chucked the rest of it as I did not know what to do about it. I did not know what caused it either. That's why I then stopped making liquid soap for quite a long...

Does zappy feeling feel like your tongue being scalded by very hot coffee? No, not this castile liquid soap that I added dry KOH to, but another soap I tested a long time ago. I can still feel the scalding sensation whenever I conjure up the memory. Is that the correct comparison of a zappy...

Thank you for your prompt response, @AliOop. Yes, you did recommend adding KOH solution. But I've read somewhere, I think in one of @DeeAnna responses, forgive me if I am mistaken, DeeAnna, that we can actually add dry KOH as there is already enough liquid in the liquid soap to dissolve the...

BTW. @DeeAnna, I finally gathered my courage to try adding dry KOH flakes to my liquid soap that has very bad separation (photo 1). This is a Castile soap (100% Olive Pomace Oil) using 2% superfat. Cold Process. I used my fragrance oil scale so it can measure small increments in weight, and...

If it can emulsify superfat with the liquid soap, this is my layman brain thinking, then can PS 80 be used to emulsify the unsaponified oils back into the soap so they don't separate and cloud the soap? Am I right to think this @AliOop and @DeeAnna ? Because if it can, then it can replace the...

woooww ... thank you so much, people. You are all so generous with your knowledge and time to write a response here. I am continually amazed at the amount of support and quality of information members can get in this forum. Upon reading @DeeAnna's suggestion about PKO, I started looking for it...

hahaha thank you for the welcome, AliOop. And thank you for explaining it to me. I am not used to writing in this kind of forum, it took so long to summon my courage to ask a question. But I enjoy reading all posts and that's what I've been doing for 1 and a half year before this first...

Hello all. This is my first post here after lurking silently for so long. I have just read the book 'The Ultimate Guide to Liquid Soap", and I think I found one statement in the book that said that Coconut oil with its lauric and myristic acids behave differently in liquid soaps. It is not...
