Isn't that surprising? I think it's more likely from too much superfatting. With gm soap, 4 - 6% superfat is common so that the total fat amt. doesn't go too high.

Guest guest Posted September 11, 2006 Report Share Posted September 11, 2006 Can you dry them in a food dehydrator or in the oven or set them in the sun? Your moms GMsoap could have been made with oils that were already going rancid. There are probably a few different reasons why a soap can go rancid. Anybody have any more thouhgts? Shaye orange peels How do I dry fresh orange peels without them getting moldy? Another question? My mom had goatmilk soap someone had made , she says it got rancid, why?

Have you tried it? ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ No. I don't have any rancid oil, except for a lotion bar base that I made and forgot about, but since it's mixed oils and it has a large amt. of beeswax, I don't think that will work for soap.
