Thank you all so much for your help and advice. I've decided against this particular soap recipe because I'm still so new to soap making and this became way too complicated far too fast. I'm definitely using all of the advice from this for future soap batches though.
I'm still fairly new to the soap-making process and am trying a new recipe. It calls for 6.5 oz. Soybean oil. Can I substitute this with 6.5 oz. Olive oil?
Recipe is as follows:
-2.1 oz cocoa butter (refined)
-9.5 oz 76 degree melt coconut oil
-4.4 oz refined sunflower oil
-6.5 oz soybean oil...
