Here they are. I'm still in shock after my pumpkin recipe--experiment--seized like a Halloween nightmare. Oh, my gosh.

I used my usual recipe:
30 percent olive oil
50 percento coconut
about 10 percent mango butter
about 10 percent sal butter

I added pumpkin which got really hot last time. This time I added yogurt and thought what a nice feeling this soap is going to have.

I think I waited too long to add the final additives--pretty thick trace-- and after I did, it seized so fast I barley got the spice swirl in as it started to turn into a clay type of mass which I pushed into the mold, so it's really oily because the cinnamon swirl was in olive oil which didn't get incorporated very well.

Oye,

Is this recipe savable? I really like the idea of all the ingredients.

Hi sgsoap,
What is the "boiling bag method"??? I have scorched many batches or added too much liquid to prevent scorching and waited forever for the batch to harden. I am MOST interested.
