A small amount of my lye flakes did not dissolve, in the water...why? Never has happened before, and I've been making soap for 30 years. I've stirred and stirred, and about a half teaspoon of flakes have not dissolved. Has this happened to others. I am using the flakes from Crafters Choice.

I'm interested in making my own soap and shampoo bars, but my young son is allergic to all nuts and possibly to coconut. Is there a recipe I can use or
