This was a weird behaving batch, I used lavender infused olive oil and used lavender water, I brought the soap to perfect trace, included my additives, placed the soap in the molds, and everything was perfect.
Then, disaster happened! I choose to remove it from the molds placed it on the fire and stirred away for more that 1 hour to get it to the gel stage, even had to do it on direct heat for about 20 mins. without any trace, it was not until I added some coconut milk it went into gel, then I added 2 tablespoons of clay with essential oil of lavender. I was praying all the scents of the oils and herbs I used would not go because of the long cooking but, some made it through, most did not.
When I unmolded the soap it turned out to be terribly soft, guess I will have to let it dry a bit more and hopefully it'll be a lovely soap. We'll see. Stay tuned!
