Almost got a full gel this time, which felt nice.

The olive oil was marinating with shredded lemon peels for a week prior to processing, so it got a really strong natural lemon aroma. Hoping it holds up once done curing. :)

Apart from that, no additives.

    when i give my 100% olive oil soaps to friends, some complain about the lack of foam. They may think that—even when they know it’s not true—it doesn’t clean because it doesn’t foam 🤷

    what do you mean by “hardness” though?

      Hardness I am not sure how much matters or whether I understand it, really. Allegedly pure olive oil soap take longer to be solid enough to use?

      I made a batch of pure olive oil soap before this, so it will be interesting to see if I notice any difference in hardness.

      First test using some flakes from the mold, shows that it foams a lot better with the 20% coconut oil. :)
