Sodium Lactate

Today will try using liqiud SL to make my soap more fluid by mixing in 2 Tsp PPO undiluted after cooking. Does that sound right? Will the SL make the soap more opaque like CP?

Will the SL make the soap more opaque like CP?

Don't you mean like MP? SL is typically used to help the soap harden, not for color stabilization or opaqueness.

 

[Dean]

Not MP.

Its added to HP for fluidity. Wondering if it affects opaqueness too. Also is the amt right and not being diluted ok.

 

[MKLonestar]

I honestly couldn't say as I don't use SL in my CP or HP. Hopefully, someone with more knowledge about using it in HP will respond.

I didn't even pay attention to the "after cooking" or I would have caught that it was HP.

I BELIEVE that it’s one tsp. PPO. I use it in every batch. I do HP and add it after cook as well.

I used it at 2 Tsp PPO. Did not make it more fluid. Top looks like dried mash potatoes. Definetely harder. Was able to unmold and cut less than 12 hrs. Also it appears opaque like CP. It might b worth it for hardness and opaqueness.

I haven't got notes available, but I used mine in CP and I (think),I used 30 grms in 1000grms oil. I weighed mine in a medicine cup, I didn't use a teaspoon.
