Hi. I've been making my own cold process soap for about 6 months now and love the adventure! I have a soap recipe I like, except it takes about 5 days to harden up enough to remove from the mold. Then I have to wait a few more days before it is hard enough to cut. Can you take a look at my recipe and give me some ideas to speed up the hardening process?
This is for a 1 lb quantity:
olive oil, 5.2 oz coconut oil, 3.3 oz sweet almond oil, 1.4 oz avacado oil, 0.7 oz lye 1.5 oz water 3.8 oz
At trace I add a 2% mixture of tea tree oil, chamomile oil and eucalyptus oil.
Your help is appreciated!
