beloved Posted April 26, 2007 Share Posted April 26, 2007 Man, This was my first attempt but it was as hard as a rock for 3 days. They tell ya to let it losen up. Not my stuff. It took 17 oz of aloe vera to get it like whipped cream. I scented withToberose. hope ya all like it. This is good for shaving or face cream soap.

beloved Posted April 30, 2007 Author Share Posted April 30, 2007 That does look so nice and creamy, sorry it was such a PITA for ya. You used aloe vera gel or juice to soften it up?Very nice.I used the juice and it took 17 oz. I didn't think i would get it stired in. I took the mixer to it and whip the sn-t ou of it. They say not to do that becaue it put to much air in the soap and it will fall, but mine is fine. Thanks every one means alot. I have not done much but this is fun. I let this set for about 3days to see if it would soften up but noooooo. anyhoo on the soapcream forum they believe it was my steric. Thanks for looking.

I went by her recipe and the only thing any one could come up with is that. Others had the same problem. so i am going to add more water up front next time. Hope it will behave better. Thanks for looking. Thanks for all the kind commets. JO Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

maryann Posted May 4, 2007 Share Posted May 4, 2007 I'm holding out!! Mine's on day 4. I think I cooked alot of my liquid out trying to get to neutral. I'm hoping the humidity here will soften it up . I'm still not sure if the SA had anything to do w/ it so I'm holding out till I get differ SA to make another batch.Its sooooo hard waiting Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

maryann Posted May 6, 2007 Share Posted May 6, 2007 OK I may beat you w/ the # of ozs I'm going to have to add :undecided. I'm at 15oz of d.water- I need to let my mixer cool down- LOL before continuing. As I was sitting there mixing it came to me that clay absorbs a lot of water. Could this be part of the problem??

beloved Posted May 7, 2007 Author Share Posted May 7, 2007 Not sure? I love the stuff. I gave some to my Pastor {who is a woman] She Told the whole church if they wanted some nice face soap they should get together with me. WOW I was so suprized. I gave it to her for Her b-day. But man I know that it should not be so hard. I wonder with all the aloe vera i put in it if it lowered the ph big time??????? I would like to have a metter but this is suppose to be a hobbie for me not a job. I just can't seem to justify it. good luck to you and please post your would love to see it.
