Preserving Liquid soap

[penelopejane]

I tried using jojoba oil and a lot of other more expensive base oils, and my family preferred the higher lard soaps 100% of the time. And those were blind tests. All the same color, all the same shape, all the same scent. Just different recipes and labelled R13, P84, etc, so no clues in the naming. So, I stopped using expensive oils and short shelf life oils. That stopped my DOS. I am currently using 3 year old soap that is just fine.

Yes I agree. Someone told me jojoba oil was supposed the holy grail for soap dough - boy what an expensive frustrating experience. I did finally learn from you and others! I have other almost 6 year old soaps that are still fine and a fair few old castile which are fabulous!
