4th Batch!! Curdled again!!

Salam,

My 4th batch, curdled. 

not as much as my 1st batch. 

still, it curdled.

see pics below.

nice colour haa ;)

looks so creamy.. 

bahan-bahan yang digunakan ialah 

minyak kelapa sawit, minyak zaitun, minyak canola, dan NaOH. 

tak lupa juga santan kelapa sebagai ganti air.

no fragrance.

 

see the texture?

cantik kan...

bila lagi nak perasan..

hehehe

i lined it all in a box.. love the texture..

you cant really see the curdled spots. pix not clear.. the white dots..

 

so i grated it..

letih giler dok garit sabun ni k.

next round kena lebih berhati-hati.

the coconut cream must not be too too frozen.

nanti curdle lagi, lagi payah!!

melted it and added cili kering 

ayah kata kalau kulit tu luka, kena cili ni mesti pedih.

tapi m dah letak dah, tak leh nak buat apa-apa lagi.

pedih nanti pun pedih laa..kalau ada luka laa.

i also added cinnamon and activated charcoal powder..

cili kering tu nampak cam kaler oren.

cinnamon tu nampak cam brown ke purple?

and activated charcoal doesnt really look grey, 

nampak cam kaler biru pun ada gak. kan? 

blue grey gitu..

kat atas ni gambar sabun yang dah dipotong..

if you can see in some pictures, i sprinkled and pressed hard, on top, crushed almonds..

as hard as i pressed it doesnt stick to the soap much!

why o why!!

yang ni gambar 2 hujung..
the top end, can see that i didnt pack the soap nicely coz
you can see some gap there between the coloured soaps.

 

you can see that each bar is different from one another.
all unique bars..

cun!!

top picture,
the brownish purplish one - cinnamon,
(macam kaler lebam kan..)
orangy - dried chilli powder
bluish grey - activated charcoal powder.

see the lines in top picture, that was made when i cut the bars,
the crushed almonds followed the knife as i cut.

i cut too thin..
and senget benget
so ada yang gemuk at one end and thinner kat hujung.

gambar2 atas ni ialah gambar2 yang gatal nak dimasukkan

ye la, pas guna nanti dah tak ada proof nak tunjuk atau nak ingat balik , 

"oo m, pernah buat sabun pelik ni.."

hahaha

chao!!

My 2nd Cold Processed soap !!

Salam,

I made my second soap yesterday.

from the looks of it, its beautiful..

not because i made it hehe

but the colour is beautiful, blackish greyish..

this time it was palm+olive+canola+lye+coconut milk(CM)+activated charcoal.

i made sure i froze the CM first this time so that it doesnt curdle.

it worked!!

i did not make it slushy, i just waited till it melt just a little.

i poured all frozen CM into a stainless steel bowl, 

made a well, sort of, in the centre and pour the lye in, a little at a time 

and while stirring, pushed the frozen CM into the centre, where the lye is, one by one.

it did not curdle so i am very happy!!

i need to find a way to cut this soap nicely. 

i didnt cut the first one well, 

it was too thin and very very uneven that it cant stand!

i'm actually curing it flat on its side, turning it every now and then..

i've googled and read that i should just throw it away 

but it would be such a waste so i'm keeping it for me still..

=)

i will do the cutting ceremony soon!!

blog about it later peeps!!

;)
