Question for those who avoid gel phase
Last night (this morning technically) around midnight (I'm a night owl), I made a batch of coconut lime soap. The recipe includes olive oil, coconut oil, sunflower oil, shea butter, castor oil, and coconut milk. I used lime juice to make the lye solution.
I put the soap into the freezer immediately after pouring. It looks amazing! My question is: how long do I keep it in the freezer and how long do I wait to unmold it?
Do I take it out of the freezer after a few hours then wait to unmold for another few hours? What is your technique?
Edit: Yes, I know now that lime juice isn’t ideal based on the chemistry. However, my bars are not zapping me, nor are they too soft to use. They’ve hardened quite well and they smell fantastic!
