Single Oil Soap - Castor Oil - Day 2
| Today I wanted to make the castor oil soap with no volcano. How does that sound? I am pretty excited to see how it turns out. Let’s head to the test kitchen and make sure our thermometer is handy!
To be on the safe side, I decided to not heat the castor oil and just leave it a room temperature. When I tested the temperature, it showed to be 69° F. I mixed my lye solution and gave it time to cool. When I went to mix my soap, the lye was 96° F. I didn’t have any volcanos or temperature problems. Yay! I love it when things work the way they are should!
I learned that castor oil is a temperature sensitive oil when making soap. Even with the much cooler temperatures, when I reached trace, it was like a thick pudding after having been chilled. I poured the soap into the mold. Later when I washed with the finished soap, I liked how creamy and smooth it felt but there weren’t any suds. One thing I have noticed is many people relate the amount of suds with how clean something is. Needed Materials
