FAQ
What molds are best to use? Plastic or silicone?
It is more convenient to use silicone molds in soap making. It’s easier to get soap out of them. But plastic molds are also quite convenient — they are transparent and thus you can see the process of fine pouring and hardening of the soap. The plastic mold becomes unusable after 60-70 pours of soap, but nothing happens to the silicone.
Why does my soap stay in bubbles? How to get rid of bubbles?
Bubbles can only remain on and in the soap if the base has been overheated. Heat over low heat, in a water bath, or at the lowest microwave setting in a microwave oven.
Does it make a difference when you add fragrance, oil and coloring when making soap?
The only rule is to add fragrance at the very last stage, when the soap base is no longer very hot. This is due to the fact that the fragrance can simply evaporate when it is introduced into a very hot soap base.
Can food be added to soap?
Something is possible. For example: Honey, ground coffee, sugar, salt, ground oatmeal, etc. However, do not forget that the shelf life of such soap is quite short.
I want to make multi-layer soap, but sometimes the layers come apart. What to do?
After you have poured the first layer of soap and it has cooled, scratch it with a toothpick and sprinkle it with alcohol, then the layers will not come apart.
Is it possible to add various ingredients to soap (coffee beans, herbs, cinnamon, etc.)?
Yes, you can. But you should take those ingredients that do not give color if you do not want the soap to take on a different color or shade.
Why is soap bad for lathering?
This is due to the presence of a large amount of fatty acids (from oils) and very soft surfactants.
I wanted to make a soap roll (roll), how to do it?
First, you need to pour a thin layer of soap base into the mold. When the base has not yet completely dried and remains warm, start twisting the roll. If the base dries completely, it will not be possible to roll the roll.
