I used the wrong salt!

[Servant4Christ]

I'm realizing hours after making ZNSB that I accidentally grabbed the wrong jar of salt from my pantry when making my faux sea water yesterday! I used my pickling/canning salt instead of the finely ground sea salt that was right next to it on the shelf. Good thing it's a small batch because I have no idea now if I should toss the batch and start over or just roll with it.
For those who are wondering how I could mix them up, I store them both in mason jars to prevent moisture. The lids are labeled, but they still look the same at a glance.

I don't think it will matter at all. Is it iodised salt or regular? We usually recommend to use canning salt for soap because it is the cheapest.

Non iodized. Morton's brand. According to Google, canning/preserving salt is pure sodium chloride.

Canning salt is fine for soap.
I use sea salt because I want to add all the “ingredients” from the sea into my soap!

Perfect. Don't you dare toss that batch!

I would've tossed the batch of faux sea water, not the soap. I can see I worded that very wrong at nearly 2 in the morning. Even my less than stellar soaps get used here.

I use actual sea water.

Oh yes - I see now. I did wonder why you were posting so late given that It was nearly midnight here and and I know my American friends are pretty much always sound asleep by then.

I was up a lot last night. Nights are always the worst when little ones aren't feeling well.

Stupid question, but, what is ZNSB?
