Questions:

- @00:21 @3wildoils asks “How to make soaps harder? Sometimes using sodium lactate, but not completely happy with the results. Using also stearic acid up to 0.5% and making recipe where hard oils are around 60-65% and still want soaps to be harder and prevent my sink from soap scum!! My soap leaves some soap scum... What is the best oil, butter proportion?”

- @02:42 @bathematics101asks “What is the most important property you consider when deciding which oils to use during your recipe formulation? Is it better to work backwards by deciding what you want the use of the bar to be before choosing any oils?”

- @09:21 @untarnished_talons says “Hi Anne-Marie. Please guide me about oils that give slow moving recipes. I struggle with quick tracing all the time.”
