Our soaps go through a complete gel. Large batches will naturally gel especially in a wooden mold.
Cold process soap must saponify and harden before unmolding and cutting. Sea Salt Soaps need to be cut sooner, often while still warm. Cold Process Soap must cure for 4-8 weeks before using.

With salt soaps, do you need to add way more fragrance due to the extra salt? I noticed I can barely smell mine and put the required amount in with my recipe.

In the attached blog post, Lovin' Soap talks about figuring fragrance oil based on oil + salt. I do increase the fragrance but it doesn't feel right to go all the way with it. I try to be cautious, especially if the fragrance oil already has a low usage rate. lovinsoap.com/2015/09/how-to-formulate-soap-salt-bars/

Just wondering, why did you put sodium lactate in a salt soap?

@moriversoap 2 жыл бұрын

I love sodium lactate. It just makes soap feel amazing. Since my recipe doesn't use full salt, I find that the sodium lactate does help to tighten it up faster, especially when pouring into individual silicone molds which means the soap doesn't usually gel. Now, did I need it in loaf form?... Probably not, but I still come back to the fact that I just love SL in soap.
