Making Castile Soap

Trouble Shooting Castile Soap. I find making liquid soap to be a challenge, like baking I have noticed that the weather plays a part in how fast or slow the liquid soap gets the clear vaseline like stage.
Of course the oils used do make a difference in the finished product. Because I like to use argon and shea butter, I don't always ended up with the clearest soap. But never the less I do get a soap that is wonderful for the body as well as other household chores. I have also experiment with goats milk soap . It is a nice way of adding a little extra to moisturize the skin.
Not one for following recipes, I find that the experimenting with different ingredient is part of the fun of exploring soap making. In an almost magical way you see that Potassium sulfate can take a variety of oils and morph into a liquid soap that is amazing.
1. Potassium Sulfate is caustic. Safety and precautions should be taken.
2. Patience ...soap making is not always by the book so it may take  less or more time for soap to get to trace.
3. Thickening of soap has been an issue at times. Though there are various ways to thicken soap. I find that even a thin layer of soap has a thickening effect when used. I would rather keep to a natural base than begin to add to many chemicals or ingredients
4. I do love the feel of glycerin and so I do superfat with glycern as well various oils high in vitmanins and minerals.

Happy Easter!!
