Overcooked??

[removed10]

Melinda? Jane? Anybody??

I decided to work on some of my hand milled soap this evening and accidentally put the crock pot on high. then I started having some wine and getting upset about some other things...the soap had come to a boil!!

Is it ruined???

It was great soap, but not scented....I was going to add some lavender EO...but don't want to if I have ruined it...how can I tell???

Oh woe is me....

Okay, fine, fine...I will just have to think for myself... =)

I scooped it out (except what was in the very bottom) and plopped it into a loaf mold...it smells terrific and looks wonderful!!

Because of the rather "cooked" smell to it (originally unscented), I added a piney FO...it didn't seem to be overcoming the cooked smell, so I added some "sweet berry" - it smells awesome!! It's cooled and on the drying rack - now you can smell the hint of pine in with the sweet berry...I am calling it Christmas Berry.

I have used some of the extra in the crockpot - it lathers up beautifully! My hands feel nice...I have not checked the pH as I am out of litmus paper.

I am going to get a new crockpot...this one is ancient and overheats.

Hi there Susan, can't help with your problem but glad you managed to sort things out,

Well, we'll see how the finished product turns out - when it's dried and harder.
