Properties of various Oils

[CarmenJean]

Hi all

I'm still learning about oils, essential oils and what's out there for soaps. SO! Does anyone have a list, or can point me in the diection of a list of properties of oils? Not essential oils, but things like Coconut Oil, Palm, Rice Bran, Avo .... those kids of oils, just all of them (or as many as humanly possible )

TIA

soapcalc.net has added I think a new feature, it is under the 'other calculations' option. Doesn't really list the properties individually. But I have used several times, like if I want to lower like the iodine value of my soap. I can go there and find something with a lower value to balance my recipe. HTH

I found a few sites when I was looking things up:

http://www.millersoap.com/soapdesign.html#Properties

I found this as well that has helped me:

A lot of times, what helps is soap calc too because it has numbers which can be more useful that just words.
