marty Posted November 12, 2014 Share Posted November 12, 2014 I need some advice on my soaps. I made a soap on a rope and I gave one to my sister and she said it made a whole bunch of scum in the bathtub. I use Brambleberry's goat's milk melt and pour soap, i tsp of cator oil per lb. for bubbles, 1 tsp per lb steric acid and 1 tsp per pound vanilla stablizer. I use this for my oatmeal, milk and honey fragrance so the soap doesn't turn yeloow. Any suggestions? Thanks, Mary. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chefmom Posted November 12, 2014 Share Posted November 12, 2014 Probably the castor oil. I made a egg and oil hair treatment and I usually only use olive and coconut oil with an egg and some honey. Well, silly me....not thinking.....I added just a little castor oil and WOW, when I shampooed my hair to wash out the egg/oil and then went back the tub was COATED with slick crap. I had only used a little, about 1 1/2 teaspoon of castor and it coated my entire bathtub. I have made that same mix on several different occasions without the castor and it never left my tub slick like that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
franu61 Posted November 12, 2014 Share Posted November 12, 2014 I use the BB goats milk melt & pour with olive oil and coconut oil. Never had a complaint about soap scum. Never tried castor oil. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
marty Posted November 12, 2014 Author Share Posted November 12, 2014 Thank you both so much for your advice. Does make sense about the castor oil. I will try olive oil for the next ones and see if there is a difference. Again, thanks. Marty Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
