Friday Soap Whip Update

The batches I made yesterday are doing great!  They are still foamy and haven’t shrunk at all.  There appears to be no color bleeding at all so far.

I made my 2nd formulation to improve lather.  It didn’t improve it all that much unfortunately.  I was looking for oodles of lather and got good lather still.

I thickened up the 2nd formulation and it looked fabulous!  Nice and thick before whipping. :D

Then I had this brilliant idea.  I’ll add some citric acid to lower the ph and finally we’ll all have a low ph soap!

Ut-oh.  It totally turned it to soup.  Apparently, if you thicken something with sodium cloride then you cannot stay thick when adding citric acid?  Who knew?  Everyone but me, apparently.  At least that is what I think is the conflict.  Could be something else, I dunno.  No more lowering the ph in this stuff regardless.

Now my way cool batch of whip soap is dish soap.

Sigh.

Gotta start over.

      I’m sorry, Yvainne!
      I’ve been really wrapped up in another project and haven’t been able to get back to it yet. :( I hope I’ll have time again next week. I’m sorry for the wait. Pam

    I ran out of time to work on it. I hope I’ll be able to get back to work on it later this week. :) So, there is some color bleeding but it is pretty minimal. No shrinkage at all with my first couple of batches.
