Ok, so now you have a few things to do during the soap's cure time. What color did it start out? How did it change as it cured? How did it change with use? Did it fade? Get darker? Do something unexpected? After several uses, does the scent fade or change? Lastly, color. In general, it should smell nice to use, but not leave a ton of scent stuck to your skin. Was it smooth? Creamy? Scrubby? Slimy? Sticky? And scent - before use, strength ? During use, and after rinsing. If there was a residue feeling, is it still there? Or do your hands now feel just clean without tightness or dryness? Or do they feel dry or tight? Or like you need to use lotion? Also note - texture. What you want to note - lather, of course, big fluffy bubbles? Little fluffy bubbles? Foamy bubbles? Creamy lotion bubbles? This can change a lot sometimes over the cure period! Ok, then think about how it feels? Squeaky clean? Rich and luxurious? Does it rinse clean? Leave a residue ? Feel oily? Dry your hands gently. Add a tad more water to your hand and lather up! Rub the soap over and over about 10x's and set aside.

The younger the soap, the more water you may need to get the lather started.

How to test - wet hands thoroughly with warm water. Some soap my need 8wks or more, but I think yours should be ok at 4-5wks. Then you'll make notes on that on your batch sheet. With this bar, you will use half, and store half to check for signs of rancidity or other issues that can take a few months to show.įor the half-bar you will be testing, you'll test this pretty much right away, to get that curiosity out of the way, because we soapers are all too impatient to wait LOL! Did it cut smoothly? Crack? Crumble or smush? Any air-pockets or lye or oil or fragrance pockets inside? Then while you have it set aside for curing, set one bar aside for testing later. Then, for each recipe, you will write down how long it took to be able to unmold and cut. Write down anything you remember about making it - how long it took to trace, did it heat up? Any trouble with it? Did it overheat in the mold? Change colors? Smell funny? Anything you might want to do different next time you make it. You wrote down the exact recipe you used for each one, correct? Then on each batch's recipe, attach a fresh sheet of paper, and record the date you made that batch. I have an awesome soap made with carrot puree, and it took about 6 weeks before suddenly I had tons of glorious lather. Yes, remember that I told you it would need to cure for at least 4 weeks, this is NOT just to dry it out, but also so that the soap's molecular structure settles down into the right pattern which creates a harder longer-lasting bar, but also is less harsh and BETTER LATHER! Uncured soap just does not lather well, and no amount of chemical crap is going to solve that, you just have to wait it out. Provide better quality and you will set yourself apart and build your market with soap that stands out from the competition. Remember, you're trying to provide a better bar, not the same cheap crap being spewed out by everyone else. Ron, you don't need the cdea to make a 'commercial' bar.
