Hu everyone I am new here and hope someone can help me.
I made dual lye liquid soap by cold process method
( mixed lye solution and oils at room temp)
30% lye concentration, and after adding the lye it turned into a gel like paste but after diluting the paste with water the mixture turned into an oily mess and didn’t thicken. Here is ingredients:-
Olive oil 50g,
coconut oil 45g,
castor oil 5G.
Using soap calculator, Soapee, it showed I needed to add
49.8g water,
and 4.6g Naoh
and 16.7g Koh.
So I had 154g soap paste and diluted with 154g water.
It looked all all went well with first stage as paste turned into a gel paste but final stage after dilution is watery and separated oil.
