Does anyone know if you can use edible oil in soap? I have a ton of Lorrain flavored oil for candy making. I'm seriously thinking about trying it.

you'll have to figure out the sap value inorder to set your lye. what kinda of oil is it? if it is a mixture, maybe you can use it to super-fat your soap at trace?

The actual brand name is LorAnn Oils. They are flavor oils. If I use them I am going to put them in at trace I think. When I make candy they are super strong smelling. They are concentrated oils.

Ok, I'll let ya know. I really don't see why it wouldn't work. We put all kinds of food stuff in soap including sugars and syrups, sooo
you don't need to worry about the SAP any more than you would for FOs or EOs. they are not soaping oils, but rather closer to fragrance materials.
But be aware that many flavor "oils" are alcohol based and may cause your soap to seize.

Thanks for the warning carebear. I did think about it being sugar and getting hotter. I looked on the box, bottle and the web site and can't find a list of ingredients :?
Anyway, as strong as this stuff is I think if I do an hp batch I won't have to use as much.

I tried one of their flavor oils once. Since they are diluted, the scent didn't last very long. The only exception are the mint oils. Those worked well in my tooth soap.
