For 3 years I have been making Sea Salt Soap (CP), using the formula of 80% coconut oil, 8% Castor oil and 12% olive oil, all with 20% SF. I mix the lye with the water and add it to the oils at room temperature, add dye and essential oil and finally the coarse salt, pour the mixture into the mold and about 2 hours later I cut the it into small bars. But my coconut oil supplier sent me a slightly darker oil that works well in the rest of the formulas but, apparently, in the salt soap is a disaster. I have made the same formula without changing anything but Now when adding the salt the water starts to separate from the soap. I have varied the temperature of both the lye and the oils, colder, hotter and the result is always the same. I have mixed everything for a longer time so that a false trace does not happen, but the mix separates when adding the salt, just before pouring into the mold. Everything seems to be related to the salt that is added at the end (I'm using the same brand as always). When talking with the coconut oil supplier he tells me that he makes soap and that the new oil does not give him any problems. I live in a country with serious difficulties and it is impossible to change providers. The others that are sold at excessively expensive prices and produce without any ethical standards. Has something similar happened to you? Do you have any idea what is happening in this case? If the coconut oil were adulterated could this happen? my salt soap is the best sold among all my formulas, I'm a little desperate!
