Yay I finally made a glycerin / transparent soap !
I even used an experimental ingredient!
I used eviks recipe at curious soap maker as the guideline, and a youtube video in french found in a comment on her blog.
Totally worked!
Its very mild, not drying, no worries on lye heavy, meltable? havent tried... can add fragrance and superfat butter and clay etc without too much calculating...? maybe !
so this was better than stressing out. hm. im ok i want to make so many different ones now. i want to make a cold process transparent soap... possible?
wow the soap is great feels nice on my skin, super mild, its a stearic acid soap, it'll last forever probably. will try a shea butter one later.
here are the pics!
the date sucks! the camera is dying and it just wouldnt let me change the date so i didnt.
here is monkey enjoying his new status as quality control manager
will try melting the soap later
Happy new year!
New soap :)

the soap remelts perfectly! to reduce white inclusions, you must continue spraying the entire surface including the inside of the container with ethanol. if the surface dries, it will skin, and white inclusions of trapped air will ruin the translucence. added shea butter but did not know how much, and it was so lovely!! the best non drying soap. aded shea at 15% and it was too much (but im unsure because this was the soap left for a week due to the disruption) and the shea butter after pouring out into the mold, had precipitated out of the soap and was sitting on top. bit strange. so a lower amount should suffice, say 8% maximum.
haven't tried to add fragrance or essential oils to a remelt yet, that will be next!
