Getting soap wrapped and labeled tonight. For years, I've taken a big knife and scraped most of the soda ash off. It's time consuming, especially when you have hundreds of bars. The soda ash disappears the first time you use your bar of soap.
For those that are unfamiliar, soda ash is a harmless white residue that appears when lye in freshly poured soap reacts with carbon dioxide in the air. Lots of soap makers change their formulas to avoid this but I love my soap so much, I don't want to change anything about it.
