@Alfa_Lazcares , any chance youd like to share your providers? haha but yes, I know you can probably find the supplies online, its just that the price-benefit doesn't seem worth it, adding to shipping costs and everything ends up being more than twice the price when I can just go walking to the marketplace and get great quality products there. I'm now also kind of in a patriotic mood and Im trying to use exclusively national products.
I will have to try with the aloe vera. Indeed Im quite sure I can just steal some from my grandmother but the whole part of cleaning the plant sounds a bit tedious. The final product will probably be worth it though.
@cmzaha Plumbing is indeed an issue in most places in Mexico, water in the entral part of the country is also usually hard, so I will keep that in mind. Right now Im using 5% superfat but can try cutting it further and see what happens.
In other thoughts, the other thing I was also contemplating about is using nopal cactus slime instead of water. In traditional architecture its used as a hardening agent for cladding and paint, so I think that besides its health benefits it could boost the lather and make a harder bar.
Oh gosh.... So many options and possibilities. Im getting excited just thinking about it.
