I bet it would if you do it right.

Yes, it does!! Ask @cmzaha I believe she makes vinegar soaps.

Topofmurrayill makes vinegar soaps, too. He became quite expert at it and wrote several posts on it. Here's one of his threads: https://www.soapmakingforum.com/threads/how-to-use-vinegar-to-harden-your-soap.59295/

Test new ideas, even if *everyone* says it won't work test it in a small batch. Vinegar added to soap. I thought of it and looked it up on a forum, *everyone* said NOOOOOOOO it won't work!

It does. One of my favourite hand soaps is made with apple cider vinegar instead of water.

I had that face slap last week too when I was rummaging for a container to hold 2oz of FO/EO blend, but I wasn't sure how long it would be until I got to soapmaking with it so I didn't even want to try plastic. Suddenly remembered the empties waiting to go to the bin. Covered existing label with painters tape and relabeled it with a sharpie. Problem solved.

My AHA moment came last week after 6 years of making soap, that I could avoid the risk of partial gelling completely by just popping all of my soap into the freezer. I've been making 100% percent goat milk soap for a long time and it just never occurred to me that I could freeze water based soap as well!
