I've made my first 3 soaps a few days ago.
Bentonite, Calendula and Lavender soaps.
I have a question about one of the soaps where I used 6% grapeseed oil.
The others don't have the grapeseed oil in them.
This one (middle one on picture) came out of the mold really nice, like the others did, but it was slippery.
VERY slippery.
Now a few days later, they aren't slippery anymore and since the color of the soap is orange already, I don't care about DOS in it (if they will appear), but my question is the following:
The other 2 soaps are harder than this one (all 3 made 5 days ago). The orange one can be easily smashed if I push with my finger.
Not really smashed, but I can push my thumb in it.
Will this harden over time or was this a waste of materials?
Looks like the other 2 are curing better, but still that orange one looks great.
It's just a bit softer to the touch.
Maybe I'm just being impatient
Ps, if I press, I can press them all with my fingers..... but they look sturdy.
