Thread: Fix my soap??? Sundance Soapery

Hi brooksie,

My wife makes soap using olive oil and a few different kinds of oil. Olive oil is not a good ingredient for lathering and I don't think you can reverse its affect after the fact. Tallow, animal fat, is best for creating a lather. Since the soap making process involves the chemical reaction between lye and oil or tallow, etc. to make soap, I don't think there is any thing you can add to improve your soap. It has to be in the original process and undergo the chemical reaction with the lye.

Might make a good bath soap. That's what mine is now.

Regards,
Howard.
