酪梨橄欖可可皂 Avocado/Olive/Cocoa Soap


The following information is from:

https://thenerdyfarmwife.com/troubleshooting-cold-process-soap-problems/#section23

Soap has small visible white spots all throughout:

1. Stearic Acid Spots (feel solid, smooth, waxy)
Reason: Hard fats such as palm, tallow, lard, butters, etc contain solid fatty acids (like stearic acid & palmitic acid) that need a higher temperature to melt, while other components of the fat melt more easily.
Solution: If your temperatures get too cold, the fatty acids in solid fats can start solidifying before they can react with the lye, and you can end up with stearic acid spots. Working with warmer temperatures can help in that case. If using palm oil, it’s recommended to completely melt and stir the oil every time you use it or you might have an uneven balance of fatty acids, leading to more spots in some batches.

  1. 3.5g Sodium lactate
  2. Gold powder: 0.7g plus 70g soap batter for variation
  3. Pencil line: purple powder
  4. Rose geranium essential oil
  5. Elderberry tea ice cubes + some distill water = 113.5g as lye solution
