Teach Soap

Good morning all! Well, I tried my hand at a oatmeal, milk, and honey recipe. I used coconut milk and did the cpop method. The soap looks beautiful! BUT....when I cut it this morning, it's a bit sticky. Not overly so, but enough to notice. Do you think it will re-absorb into the soap or is it ruined? I used about 2 tablespoons (maybe a little less) for 28 oz of oils.

When I do my Honey Oatmeal Soap, it it semi sticky the next day too. It turns out fine after a day or so. I use 1 TBSP of honey per pound. Just give it a couple of days and see what happens.

I agree ,it should be fine.

Whew! Thanks for the input. Sounds like crisis was averted! Perhaps next time I'll add just a tad less based on the 1 Tbs. per pound of oil formula. Thanks! I have one more question. How much oatmeal do you all add ppo? I used baby oatmeal.

Standard rule for CP / HP with regard to colour, scent, texture ... anything really - let it sit and cure for at least a week before you make up your mind about it. Scents mellow / develop, colours change, textures develop. What may seem like a disaster now, may turn out to be your greatest soap ever! Let us know in a few days how it looks and feels.

For one pound of oils, I use 1/2 cup of oatmeal. I grind it up very fine (almost a powder) in my coffee grinder that has now been claimed by the soap making monster. I don't like itchy scratchy so that's why I grind it so finely.
