Liquid soap cloudy after salt thickening

[Kevinkn24]

Hello I make liquid soap with oil composition:
Olive 70%
Coconut 20%
Castor 10%

It makes a good clear soap
It color gold- yellow I really like the color

however after I thicken the soap using salt solution the soap color become cloudy. Any solution or salt recommendation? I use indutrial non iodium soap (thats what the seller said)

indutrial non iodium soap -- not sure what that is. Please give the chemical formula of this additive.

Try sodium lactate or a non-salt thickener

@DeeAnna I was confused as well and was thinking perhaps the OP meant to say "non-iodium salt" which I think would be non-iodized salt. It would be good to get clarification on that.

Me too. "Non-iodized salt" makes sense to me.

I don't have any experience thickening Castile Liquid Soap with salt but I do remember reading that it should be added slowly. Add. Stir. Wait a bit before adding more.

Here's a thread that might help:

ETA: While it might be cloudy at first, it may clear after a full 2-week sequester. I've experienced that with cloudy soap a few times.

There are two threads by the op with the same question and he mentions the same salt. Some if not everyone in this thread have already answered his questions in the other threads. Perhaps he's either not getting the answer he needs/wants or he's simply not reading the replies.
