I've been making bath bombs and massage bars for ages, and when I finally got into soap, it was m&p, which I started about 3 months ago. But there was a little voice in my head that kept saying "cp, cp!" I finally listened and made my first batch today. I don't have pictures yet, but here's the recipe
coconut oil 25%
olive oil 25%
palm oil 25%
sunflower oil 20%
castor oil 5%
Soapcalc tells me my soap quality is
Hardness 38
Cleansing 17
Condition 58
Bubbly lath. 22
Creamy lath. 26
INS 145
The only thing is, it never seemed to reach a really thick trace. There was a light trace, and I kept mixing with my stick blender, but it never seemed to get any thicker. In the end, I got fed up and poured it into the mold.
So tomorrow, we'll see.
But I did it. My big fear was the sodium hydroxide, and I did it! Yay! And I couldn't have done it without all the information I've got from months of reading this forum. So, thanks!
