RE: [UMSGMembersList] Kitchen Soap


Great minds run in the same channels, Kathy! I was going to suggest
discounting the water, too. My next suggestion would be to cut back on
the extra oils, if any, and just keep your good lathering oils, such as
Olive, Coconut and Palm. The coffee grounds and corn meal may reduce
the lathering capacity, but don't know for sure. I haven't used corn
meal in soap... Just the coffee grounds. I'd run the recipe through a
lye calculator to make sure you have the right ratio of lye before
making the recipe, but I'm sure you've already thought of that.
Hugs,
Alaena
