Teach Soap

So I return to the area to find her stickblending something beginning to resemble cold process rice pudding of a cement-like consistency! Changed the FO and she thought it would be the same . . . it ain't necessarily so . . .
I am rebatching it in the oven at the moment but even if it works it is going to be 'house personal' or maybe laundry soap!

Yes, it happens. The fragrance could have the same name, come from a different manufacturer and react differently.

I have decided that it happens to all of us at one time or another! Is she upset by the behavior of that soap?

I just unmoulded it from the freezer. Amazingly it doesn't zap. Maybe the fat in the cream I added was enough, plus the superfat, to balance it. It doesn't look bad, it's all one colour now of course, and it smells OK.

So can we see a photo of it?

I rebatched it pretty quickly, sorry.

The repeat came out the same. It's not any lack of expertise; it's the FO, which was IFF's watermelon and fresh kiwi. Causes massive acceleration.
I had to rebatch the second, too. I added 2% full fat cream, and 3% oil, and blended it well, to compensate for the oil that had seeped out. It looks quite nice, like a HP soap texture. Which it is, more or less, now?

I'll take pics of the two batches and put them up.

Yep, it is now HP.
