I got a Dr.Harris almond stick some days ago, but since I'm no fan of sticks I decided to put it into a cup.
I cut the stick in small pieces and put it into the microwave for 10 seconds, when I took it out it had swelled like a marshmallow. At this point I figured I should the ingredients list, (I know, should have done that first, but like most men I tend to try on my own first and if eveything fails, then read the manual.)
One of the ingredients was sodium tallowate, and I know a tallow soap should be milled, and not microwaved, but I thought this was mostly because of the risk that the fat catch fire.?
Anyway, I squeesed it into the cup and let it cool down.
The soap looks just fine, but it's got a strange scent to it, and I don't think it lathers as it did before.
Could micowaving the soap have ruined it?
