Teach Soap

Hello guys. Hello Anne-Marie... I encountered problem in my first batch.. actually i dont have idea at all in this field. I only relied on research thru internet. So when i did my first batch, am so disappointed with the results, it is because the texture is not fine like milk evap, it is somewhat like granular. I dont know why?

My query is: if i want to make papaya soap, do i use the papaya extract as substitute to water where we dilute lye? or i have to dilute lye in water and just add later the papaya extract... Please help me guys.. your advices and suggestions are much appreciated....

What was your recipe and method? Soap should not be granular after it's made. Is your lye pure? Do you have an accurate scale?
I would not use papaya extract as your water portion. I would add it as a small amount and discount that small portion from your water amount.
