Hi all
Just after some quick advice if i may.
I have a couple of batches of soap made 3 weeks ago (olive oil, coconut, palm
oil, cocoa butter and mango butter). Without using litmus paper is there some
way of knowing whether it is ready to use? Should i err on the side of caution
and let it cure for a little longer?
Thanks in advance.
Julie
