Hello, I did experiment with adding stearic acid to the liquid soap ( classic recipe without gycerin):
- adding to little, will cause claudy soap and separation, so stearic acid will float.
@desireerenoir hi! Did the PH change? Also, is it better to add the stearic acid with the oils before lye or after with dilution with water?- above 10% of S.A. did indeed form pearly soap. But I am affraid is still has cleansing properties.
I am curious, how much does s.a. affect ph of the soap? Will report after I get my pH stirps. .)
