? about sodium lactate

[chlobue]

I sometimes use it in regular CP.
My question is can I also use it in CPHP?
I thought I'd ask the guru's who know so much more then I do.
Will it make CPHP more difficult to mold"
Any help would be great,

TIA

I haven't done HP as yet but soapers I know swear by it to help with a smooth texture and a more CP-like finish to your soap. One recommendation I have read is to use it at 3% of oil weight. Others use a sugar solution as well as the SL for a super smooth pour. Hopefully someone with experience in this area will happen along soon. You can try PMing Irishlass - she uses it with success and may share informations with you. HTH!

Quite the opposite, actually. Sodium Lactate is an HPer's best friend because it makes for a smoother pour for easier molding. I use 1 tbsp. ppo (3%) of SL ppo in both CP and HP.
