Hi! Sorry if this is the wrong section, but I think i failed my liquid soap batch due to miscalculation of distilled water and KOH
This is my recipee ( soapcalc ) using 5% superfat
Lye concentration 34.340%
Water : lye ratio 1.9120:1
This is my third times making liquid soap using the EXACT recipe but with only 500 gr oils, my soap turns clear and the pH is around 9
This time I make about 1.5 kg batch
Water 570 gr
Lye 298,11 gr
Castor oil 75 gr
Coconut Oil 450 gr
Olive Pomace 750 gr
Cocoa Butter 225 gr
I realized in the end that I only use 283 gr of KOH ( minus 14 gr from the recipee) and 425 gr of water ( minus 145 gr from the recipee)
When I finished cooking it, I diluted tiny amount of it to distilled water and the solution is super cloudy with pH 8,8
Can something fix my liquid soap? Or should I dump it?
What about I make a lye solution using the missing gram of water and lye that I miscalculated?
145 gr of water + 14 gr oil KOH.
If I could, how to incorporate it into already cooked liquid soap?
Thank you so much if any of you can help me
