liquid soap

Hi guys! So up until now, I've used only pure olive oil in my liquid castile soap, but would really like to switch it out to pomace. Other than the obvious variations in the soapcalc recipe, will pomace have any impact in LS that would differ from using the pure OO? Thanks so much for...

Hello! I made my first batch of liquid castile soap which came out wonderful and clear, however after adding salt water to thicken, I notice a fine precipitate floating throughout it now a few days later, compared to the part of the batch I left separate as a comparison. Any ideas? Will...

I recently read about someone making liquid soap using the CP method, rather than cooking it. I was intrigued, so I figured, I need to make a new batch of dishsoap anyhow, why not? I decided to try with PKO instead of CO, also, just to compare against previous batches. So, I used my usual 1%...

Hi LS newbie. As I put above, I have a few recipes I have been successful for a Solid Bar but wish to start in the field of Liquid Soap. Is it easy enough to just use the current recipes I have and just almost keep going with the mixing (using a slow cooker of sorts to keep hot) then adding...

First I would like to thank all of the wonderful posts on the forum. Even before I became a member google searches would often lead me here and I made the plunge to join yesterday. This might get long winded but I'm a talkative person. Sorry... First, yesterday I had a problem regarding...

I found this recipe from Voyageur Soap & Candle. I decided I would give it a try, but I downsized the recipe and ran everything through a lye calc before getting started. Castor Oil 64.8g Coconut Oil 202.3g Palm Oil 20.1g KOH 71.32g Water 212.7g So it took me literally an hour...

I am about to try making liquid soap for the first time. I don't have borax or boric acid. I was wondering if i can use citric acid to neutralize it? Also, for first timer, which method is easiest? the normal method or glycerin (like soaping 101)? TIA

I've successfully made some basic liquid soaps, and I am moving on to attempt some super-moisturizing body washes. The idea was to combine my lotion-making experience with my new soap-making skills :) Well, it isn't working as I'd hoped. I've attempted to emulsify about 10 - 20% extra oil...

hi guys, I'm new in making liquid soap. today I made a stupid mistake, I only added 1.4times water while dissolving the KOH, the soap has been made for 6hours, it is now traced and very sticky,I don't know what I can do now to make it up, or just leave it? what result it will be?

I tried for the first time to make liquid soap, I've used hot process a long time and I never had any problem.... since, I tried to meet the monster of LIQUIDS.... I calculated and measured my ingredients right, I didn't superfat at all, I cooked for almost 4 hours but when it came at vaseline...

I've been fighting with my liquid soap and finally have some that I am fairly satisfied with, yay! I fragranced this batch with NG's Coconut Lime Verbana--which reminds me of the beach! Can't wait to use this stuff! Still has little tiny bubbles in it from being poured into the bottles, but...

I have been looking for tubes for my liquid soap products like shower gel, shampoo, conditioner in Canada for a while. All the suppliers would say a minimum order of 5000 tubes. I don't want custom work yet(I could apply my labels on them). The only thing I want is to be able to Buy small...

I hope I can get some help here. I have been working on LS for what feels like forever. I have a few recipes that I can get nice and clear after dilution. I did have issues with clouding after adding EOs and FOs but after using a little bit of Polysorbate 80 after dilution and after scenting...

I researched the heck out of this glycerin method before attempting it. I watched what seems to be the inky 2 videos about it on YouTube and I have Failor's book. I tried combining one if Failor's recipes ( percentages only b/c I didn't want to waste that much paste if it went awry) I used...

I have been experimenting with liquid soaps for awhile and was wondering what the best way to clear up cloudy liquid soaps would be? I have a recipe that after dilution is crystal clear, but after adding certain FOs or EOs can get cloudy. What's best to use? I have used glycerin as a...

Does anyone have a recipe for liquid soap made from aloe oil? I've made liquid castile with olive oil with success. I am trying sweet almond today. How different is aloe oil in the process of saponification than the others? Any help is greatly appreciated!

Hi guys, Well I've been reading for weeks and thought I was ready to make my first soap (never did solid) and now I'm 4 hours late for work and still cant get to trace. I really need your help !! Recipe: Sunflower oil: 3.8l (3,340.80g) KOH: 595g Water: 1,400g Blossom honey: 100g Crockpot on...
