Solid Soap · NaOH · 80 g oil load · 5% superfat · 6 views · 0 saves
SILK To add silk to homemade soap for a luxurious feel, follow these steps: Choose silk fibers or silk protein (like sericin) for your soap recipe. Measure the desired amount of silk (typically 1-2 teaspoons per pound of oils). 5 tsp If using silk fibers, dissolve them in a small amount of warm water before adding. Incorporate the dissolved silk into your oils before mixing with lye. Blend thoroughly to ensure even distribution throughout the soap mixture. Proceed with your soap-making process as usual, pouring into molds and allowing to cure.
