Hello! Just introducing myself. I have experience making skincare and am just starting to wander into soap making. I started with Irish Lass’ well-spoken of liquid glycerin soap. Problems encountered were that I used an infused olive oil, forgot to use glycerin instead of water, and diluted at 100%. The paste was very dark (presumably from the infused olive oil). I dyed the liquid soap blue and had to thicken with 2% Xanthan gum (soft). I’ve never used more than .5% Xanthan gum in a formula!
I’ve learned a lot by perusing the threads, so thank you!
Oh, I also learned the importance of wearing a mask - a small spatter of unsaponified oil splashed above my lip. I did wear long sleeves, gloves and goggles.
That’s my soap-making journey thus far…
So, hello to all!
