However, after a long period of curing (around a year) full coconut oil soaps are supposed to be extra bubbly and conditioning. <br />In the end I just put it in the crock pot and cooked it, which led to a perfectly white and cuttable bar, I did superfat a little so I think the problem probably was I did not use enough oil to begin with.<br /><br />Thanks for your comment :)Irenehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12722622151453846753noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-750522545055132874.post-88728520603775742432011-01-07T17:34:42.338-06:002011-01-07T17:34:42.338-06:00I've never heard of a 100% coconut oil soap.
