Ok here's my recipe. My FIRST ever creating my own. I have been using Bramble Berry quick mixes. I love them but decided it was time to try my own ideas/choices of oils. I have Apricot Kernel Oil and I love it so I'd like to use it. I came up with this:
AKO 6% 1.74oz
Castor Oil 8% 2.32oz
Coco oil 25% 7.25oz
Lard 25% 7.25oz
Olive Oil, Virgin 36% 10.44oz
Now, I'm trying to get a handle on superfatting and best I can tell, I add some more of whatever oil I want to use to superfat. I have like an oz of Kukui Nut oil or I can add more of any of above or I saw sunflower oil at my local store and thought I could grab that if y'all felt it was necessary to use a different oil. Am I right on superfat? Just add more oil beyond what recipe calls for at whatever percent I chose. So if I chose 4% superfat for this recipe and the oils amount to 29oz, then I add 1.16oz of my superfat oil, right? This makes e nervous lol. So any help on this topic or even on my recipe is appreciated. I'd love to make this tomorrow. I have so loved making the recipes with the BB kit and their quick mixes but I feel like I need this to expand my knowledge. I want to make great soap so I hope y'all will help this newbie. Thanks!
