Beautiful soap! Would the curing time be 4 to 6 weeks? You mentioned this was a wet recipe so I was curious . I’ve made pine tar soap using the hot process method which requires a much shorter curing time. Thinking about experimenting with some cold process recipes. My daughter has psoriasis and she feels that this type soap helps. Thank you for the video.
Yes, I always allow at least 4 weeks for a cold-process soap. I have no specific reason for that other than apparent tradition, and I've assumed there was good reason behind it.
It’s to allow time for evaporation of water making a harder, longer lasting bar. Ppl paying 8$ a bar don’t want it to disintegrate after a couple showers The jury is out on supposed “crystal “ formation during curing. But I know from experience a 4 month cured bar of soap has more lather than a 4 week cure 🤷🏻♀️
