Hi All,

Sorry for this long post but today I made my first 100% coconut oil soap and it was a disaster.

The original recipe called for 25% superfat with 33 oz coconut oil, 4.8 ounces of lye, 9.6 ounces of water and 1.5 oz of essential blend [.5 ounce cedarwood, .4 ounce rosemary, .3 ounce lavender, .3 ounce black pepper]

I wanted to double the recipe and after running it through the soapcalc.net calculator got the following:
66 oz coconut oil
11.47 ounces of lye
21.78 ounces of water
12.38 oz of essential blend (I added in only half of this)

The eo blend I used was
Patchouli essential oil = 10 parts (50% of total blend)
Lemon essential oil = 4 parts (20% of total blend)
Nutmeg essential oil = 3 parts (15% of total blend)
Black pepper essential oil = 3 parts (15% of total blend)

Now after mixing n the lye and then later the eo blend, the soap super traced and got very very hot.

The number of disasters that happened are as follows:
1. The soap thickened up very fast.
2. It resulted in a volcano immediately on pouring into the mould.
3. I could barely get all into the mould when the volcano happened and at the same time it literally hardened up in the mixing container itself. Within seconds I had a hardened lump of soap in my mixing bowl and the mold.

This is how it looks like now https://photos.google.com/share/AF1QipP ... ZMUVBWNktR

Looks like a 2 minute soap thing lol :P

Jokes apart,

Please tell me where I went wrong and how can (if can) this batch be reused?

Thanks in advance :)

Nutmeg can accelerate trace or heat up the soap in the mold. This type of soap works best in individual molds since it heats up fast and gets hard fast.

100% coconut oil soap is a law unto itself. LOL I soap very cool and have still had it volcano on me. As Soapbuddy said, individual molds are best or a shallow slab mold with dividers.
