I live in a tropical country, The temperatures are in the range of 25- 30C. When I thickened the diluted CPLS with salt to honey thick, it felt very nice to use. However, when I tried to leave a sample in my office lunch room, the soap turned partially solid due to the Air condition is in use. So I had to take it back.

I wanted to figure out a way in which I do not thicken the soap too much so that it stays liquid even in relatively colder temperatures.

This weekend when I diluted another portion of the soap paste, I kept it in the refrigerator and cooled down the liquid to 15.3C, thereafter added salt water and thickened it like honey. when it returned to normal temperature the soap became little watery by stays liquid even in lower temperatures.
