I'd always wondered why exactly lye concentration ratio was listed. How does it help?

Does it lather without a high % of co? Does it retain fragrance curing so long? The salt was medium fine (pink salt) I would say? Like many here mine breaks off towards the end too. Just wondered if there was anything I could do, like reduce the amount of salt, to reduce the chance of breakage.
