Soap not lathering
by Sofia
(Trinidad)
I made some soap I used olive and canola oil it looks good but when wet it's not lathering I am getting a gel what can I do?
Answer:
Both olive oil and canola oil pruduce a very thin lather. Ingredients like coconut oil, palm oil, shea butter and castor oil will give a real boost to a soaps lathering abilities.
Visit my page on Soap Making Oils and scroll down to the heading labelled "Formulating A Recipe" and read up on how I create a recipe.
Good luck,
Cathy
