Would you recommend using either Shea OR cocoa as I've been practicing with both together and the bars are a bit soft for me, even after curing. I assumed both would give a more luxurious bar but now I'm thinking maybe it should be an either or situation in my base recipe. Any thoughts gratefully received. Great video. Thank you

Shea and cocoa butter actually make for harder soap bars, not softer. So it is something else in your recipe that is making your soap soft. Remember that lye changes every oil and butter, so they are not the same in soap as they are before coming in contact with the lye.

There isn't a set temperature and it would depend on the amount of butters etc in the recipe. Too low and they can begin to reset. Generally around 100F

Can i use clear glycerine soap as a base? Is it the same as lye solution?
@SoapSchoolUK

No soap made from scratch uses lye to convert the oils and butters into soap. A glycerine soap base is a premade base and you cannot generally create the same looks and effects ut it is still a great product
I have to wait 40 days to use?
Hi I need to understand on the lye solution. Quantity is 140g. Is it 140g sodium and 140g caustic OR both on scale must measure 140g

I LOVVVVE Lavender but dang I hate how it looks like mouse poo when I put it on top of my soaps. LOL!!! Gorgeous soap! Purple is one of my most favorite colors. I'm still pretty new to soap making and have new 1.3 lb molds so I can start testing soaps that have things like goat's milk and/or honey in them. Much better than ruining an entire 6lb batch, right? LOL!

Hi can you say why you use titanium dioxide in the recipe please...I have noticed this chemical is being increasingly used in NATURAL cosmetics but I understood it to be a carcinogen...what would the soap be like if titanium dioxide wasn’t used please?
@SoapSchoolUK

Titanium dioxide is a white pigment. Without it the main body of the soap would be beige. It is certified as safe for skin use in most countries and in everything from cosmetics, food, drugs, toothpaste etc

Titanium dioxyde is in fact extremely dangerous for health. Take it from a med student who also has experienced first hand health issues experiences from titanium dioxyde : allergies, throat burning, lip swelling etc. And no, I'm not allergic to titanium dioxyde. It's just how the human body responds to such threat. Look it up. Please don't use this chemical.
