Liquid Soap with Hemp Oil

[Susie]

Then the hemp oil gave you unsaponifiables that have fallen out of solution. No worries. That is what sequestering is for. Just set the jar aside and let it have a couple of weeks to settle, then pull the top clear layer off without disturbing the bottom. Should be fine. If you have a steady hand and an oil separating cup(like the one you use to get the turkey broth off separated from the oil), you can pour the cloudy layer off the bottom.

I appreciate the tips ladies! For future, is there anything I can do differently to prevent this? Did I see a post made by Irishlass clear up a similar occurrence with ps 80?

I'm not concerned about using the cloudy soap at home. However, the hemp oil that was a gift has become rather important to me. A friends wife, who gave me the oil, fought a long, tough battle with COPD and just passed on Sunday. She loved my cp bar soaps. I recently made a goat milk soap with some of the oil and was looking forward to making this soap for her as well. It would mean a lot to me to give the soap to her husband.

I really appreciate all the help and guidance.

If the problem were excess oils in the soap, then yes, PS80 would help. However, this is not. The "stuff" causing the cloudiness and layer at the bottom is something the lye can't break down and turn into soap. However, give that soap a couple of weeks to sequester, and much of that cloudiness should settle out. If not, just make more CP for him. I am truly sorry for your loss.

I'm with Susie on this -- both the unsaponifiables settling out and how PS80 is best used.

I'm sad to hear of your friend's passing. Good friends are treasures.
