Soap hardening
by Shereen Badr
(Egypt)
When I set my melt & pour soap into a mold it doesn't harden enough. How can I increase the hardness?
Answer:
Melt and pour soap should harden up on it's own. If you have added too many ingredients to the soap base it can result in a softer soap.
Only use the recommended (check with the manufacturer) amount of fragrance, colour and additives to the melt and pour soap base for optimum results.
I am unaware of any method to harden melt and pour soap bases...sorry.
