I have a oil blend fat is 90% soy bean oil and 10% olive pomace oilhow should I put that in the calculator
 
Corrine -- The saponification values of the olive and soybean are different, so you'll need to enter the amount for each oil separately into your soap calculator.

So let's say you want to use 800 g of the blended oil. You need to figure out how much of that 800 g is soybean and how much is olive pomace.

You will put this in for the olive:
800 g X 10 / 100 = 80 grams

And you will put this in for the soybean:
800 g X 90 / 100 = 720 grams

Or you can figure the soybean like this:
800 g (total) - 80 g (olive) = 720 g (soybean)
