Why?
It is composed mainly of unsaturated fattyacids, oleic (65-80%) and linoleic (4-10%)
Unsaturated fatty acids give soaps that onlyvery slowly create tension with water
This directly affects trace and final soapcharacteristics

Fortunately, these problems canbe solved relatively easily
with the following tips and tricks

1. Making it trace faster
Of course, use blender and in addition, choose one of themethods below (a combination can cause soap seizing)
Discount water. Instead of 38% of oils as recommended bySoapCalc, use less water to obtain 35% lye solution (e.g. if youneed 125g of NaOH, use 125/35*65=232g of water).
OR
Add to the recipe an essential oil or fragrance , whichaccelerate the trace
ORDissolve some finished soap in the lye solution . This helps
to emulsify oils with lye faster and thus accelerates the trace

2. Making it foam By long cure castille soaps are cured for more than a year
before being distributed to the shops. The less water, thebetter the foam.
Mechanically - use the old, good soap net! It really helps.
In warm and soft water hard water creates soap scum andmakes soap much more difficult to foam. Warm water boostsfoaming.
Add something containing sugar (sugar, honey, milk,yogurt) in your lye solution, or substitute 5% of your oliveoil by castor oil (but then it is not a 100% olive oil soap ).
! Attention, sugar can cause overheating of your soap, becareful !

3. Making it less slimy
Add beeswax cca 3% of the recipeOR
Add kitchen salt dissolve around 1 and 1/2 teaspoon in thewater before dissolving NaOH, for each 1kg of oils in yourrecipe
! Avoid sea salt, as the calcium and magnesium ions accelerateoxidation and can cause your soap get rancid quicker !

4. Making it cure faster
Discount water (see above )
Ensure your soap goes through the gel phase by
The CPOP technique (cold process in the oven) that willhelp the soap gel - in this case, I do NOT recommend thewater discount , as in the oven a part of water tends toevaporate and you can finish by slowing down the reactionby evaporating too much water
Insulating your molds too keep it warm
