finally finally, after 1 whole year, i restart the engine, back to soap making !
there're always full of surprises, thanks very much dapan for answering my questionsssssss on alkanet root infused evo.
i finally got some pretty purple soap ! (photo later)
and this's my first time to work on milk, which i used to stay away from it because i believe it belongs to the advance level ......
but after this time, i think i just love working with it for many reasons !!!
no. 1 : there is less odor when adding NaOH,
no.2 : the temperature is controlled under 30C, so seems less scary compared to using water only (temperature always jump to 90C)
no.3 : less time to wait for temp dropping!

comment: trace really really fast ! why ? too less water ???
some ppl said when u use milk, you have to add a bit more water as fat in milk.....hum...
you are most welcome, ashlee!
回覆刪除i guess it traced fast because you used a huge amount of castor, it should be too much, your soap may feel a bit too sticky and soft.
oh, really !
回覆刪除i didn't know it's a "hugh" amount....
the book said under 30% is okay.....
hehe :P
