adding suds to soaps

[Guest guest]

Morning--

you know, I don't know why I didn't think of this at the time I read

the post asking about this---<a 'total'..coulda had a v8> moment.

 

Adding sugar to your water prior to adding the lye, is another way to

increase the 'suds' in your soaps. Just make sure all the sugar is

disolved PRIOR to adding the lye--or you end up with a solid lump at

the bottom of your container.

 

Adding salt to your water (again, prior to the lye) will increase the

hardness of your soap.

 

Most people use about a teaspoon per pound of oils--or less. You need

to experiment, given your choice of oil combinations.
