I have made 2 batches so far and both of them failed even a light trace so i slowly heated the mixture and kept stirring with stick blender. the soap volcanoed when poured into mould and then turned into a transparent gelatinous mess.
could it be the olive oil? thats the only common denominator between the 2 batches i made apart fro the lye which seemed to work perfectly.
i am getting very frustrated at this moment in time but i am prepared to give it one more go.
this time i will substitute the olive oil with sustainable palm oil.
any suggestions would be gladly received

last recipe was
100g shae butter
600g olive oil
150g caster oil
400g coconut oil
177g lye
400mls/g distilled water.
