I have made a LSG and added 2% lanolin PPO.
Do you think I could add 2% of soappaste instead :?:
 
I think theres a language barrier thing here... I dont i understand.

Did you make a liquid soap gel and add 2% lanolin? Did you add 2% lanolin to your LS recipe? The bit about adding 2% soap paste is throwing me... Are you trying to thicken a LS?
 
I have made a Liquid Glycerin Soap

Weight of Oils 1500 gr.
Weight of soappaste 2740 gr.
Weight of diluted soap 5000 gr.

Have added 2% Lanolin PPO = 30 gr lanolin, lanolin is very moisturizing for dry hands, no other reason.
So, I have read somewhere, that I should not add more than 2%.

My question is, can I add 2% lanolin per pound of soappaste = 52,8 gr,
or 2% lanolin per pound of diluted soap = 100 gr
instead of 2% per pound of oil.
 
Dorado, lanolin is very heat sensitive so i always add it after dilution of the soap paste. It makes a very lovely liquid soap.

Thank you Allane.
How much lanolin do you use in your LS ?

I have added the lanolin to the hot dilutionwater, works fine :thumbup:

In my country, lanolin is used a lot in handlotion,
