Soleseife chamomile coconut

Solid Soap · NaOH · 100 g oil load · 10% superfat · 4 views · 0 saves

ADDITIVES to 100g of water and lye: 3 tsp silk pink Himalayan salt rocks 75g (10% of oil) sugar 5 TBSP then add to oil with lye mix: 166g coconut milk COLOR add at trace: 1 tsp titanium dioxide FRAGRANCE add at trace: 21g chamomile EO (120F flashpoint) RESULTS: The 70g Himalayan salt rocks did not dissolve in the 100g water. I added coconut milk hoping it would but didn't seem to dissolve more at all. I strained the mixture into the oil and weighed the the salt that remained in the sieve. It weighed 45g. So only 25g salt dissolved or maybe a little more to account for the residual lye mix that covered the salt rocks even after sieving. Thinking maybe it was the Himalayan rocks that were having a hard time dissolving, I took 45g of diamond salt and added 45g of water which did almost nothing, so added 25g of coco milk, mixed a lot and even heated it. The majority of this salt also did not dissolve and was like a wet salt paste. I sieved it anyway and some liquid went through into the batter. I weighed the remaining salt and was 43g which means only 2 g of salt dissolved. SO this means I actually only added 27g of salt and increased the liquid from 214g to 284g. over 24hrs later. Super soft and afraid to unmold.
