Teach Soap

Ok, so I guess I wasn't using enough Palm Kernel & Coconut Oil to make a couple of batches of soap hard enough. I made these soaps about 10 days ago and they are spongey when i squeeze them. Are these batches toast or are they still okay to use?

Spongey like holes or like a soft bar? If it doesn't zap, they should be ok to use, but they might not last as long in your shower.

Thanks Irena, no holes, just soft soap

10 days really isn't long enough for the soap to completely cure. Give it a couple of weeks, then try again.

oh yes, I know it's not cured, but my soap is at least hard by this time, I don't ever use it until at least after 4 weeks of curing time.

It's funny because "spongy" is the word I used to describe my ungelled soaps before I figured out they didn't gel. Is yours spongy like Feta Cheese? If so, you might be what I saw.

zeo

It kinda reminds me of cheese that's been left out of the refrig - that kinda feel.
