Hi there. My name is Michael and this is my first post. I have just been reading book on and off over the years. I actually got most of the ingredients some time ago but did not make the soap. Just found the ingredients yesterday actually! Everything is there. Need to get maybe one of two things. This book I have has a basic recipe I wanted to try. I have Lard on hand now and the recipe calls for Tallow. Can these two be exchanged?
The recipe is:
Tallow 74 oz
Oil 32oz
CoCoa butter 3 oz
Lye 14oz
Water 41oz
The ingredients I have on hand are:
Lard
Olive Oil
Coconut Oil
Lye
So what would this soap be like if I just used the ingredients I have on hand? Exchanging the Lard for Tallow and the Coconut Oil for Cocoa butter?
Thanks a million!
Michael
