Teach Soap

i use this Fo all the time since it is my moms favorite, and i have noticed that in my CP soaps i get a LOT of soda ash. even when i use my alcohol. just wondering if this happens to any of you as well.

I just got this oil and was planning to use it this weekend. It'll be a couple weeks before any ash shows but I'll let you know.

BTW, I generally do a simple swirl on the top of my soap and when it does get ash, I just moisten a rag and randomly wipe some of the ash away, it makes a really pretty effect.

yeah let me know how it works for you. see i use it and it is wonderful! it smells amazing and never accelerates trace so i can swirl till my heart is content. word of advice, it does get hot, so try to soap cold. my ash usually shows up after about 24 hours.
i want to know if its the FO or the recipe i am using.

I don't get ash with my recipe. I also live in the desert with no humidity.

i live in the desert too. i am thinking its either the fragrance oil or my recipe. not sure what in my recipe would cause soda ash.

So far so good. No sign of ash. It soaped really beautifully.

it must be my recipe i am using. oh well. thank you for your help i needed to know if it was the FO or my recipe. now i know

I have a couple soaps that developed ash, since the tops were textured, I just took a damp cloth and wiped it way on some of the peaks and valleys. It was kind of cool to make the ash work in an artistic manner.
