Hi everyone,
I'm thinking about using this recipe below later to make up a batch of HP soap using one of my spiffy new FOs I just got in from Bulk Apothecary! Two questions:
1. What do you think about this recipe? Is it too high in Castor Oil or Vegetable Shortening?
2. How much FO do you think I should use?
Superfat: 7%
Castor Oil 3.00oz 6.25%
Cocoa Butter 3.00oz 6.25%
Coconut Oil (Virgin) 12.00oz 25.00%
Olive Oil 6.00oz 12.50%
Shortening (Vegetable) 21.00oz 43.75%
Sweet Almond Oil 3.00oz 6.25% 7%
Lye (Sodium Hydroxide)
Amount 6.523oz
Ounces of liquid recommended 15.84oz
Yields 70.36oz
