Teach Soap

sorry to bother yall with mindless chatter but I am new.
1. how long do you set your CP soap on rack before storing?
2. How long do you have to wait to use CP soap?

Looking for a simple recipe for cp soap that has lather and skin softening properties. Any suggestions would be appreciated. Still working on trying to figure out lye calculator.

Cold process soap doesn't have skin softening properties. Soap is a wash off product. It doesn't stay on the skin long enough. I cure my soaps on a baker's rack for 4 to 6 weeks. After that, the soap goes into large paper boxes. Handmade soap gets milder as it cures. Brand new soap will be very drying. I would wait for AT LEAST a couple of weeks before trying the soap.

You can find soap recipes here> http://www.millersoap.com/soapallveg.html
The only way to know which recipe works out for you is to make it and try it. It's a trial and error. There are no shortcuts.
