I've tried this recipe a couple different ways with the same results. Its basically 50% olive oil with 20% coconut oil 10% shea 10% Cocoa butter 10% castor. This recipe sets up like quickset! I'm still quite new to soaping. So my first couple of tries at any soaping recipe, was...

It seems like an easy simple question and may be. I'm making a fairly large batch of soap and I will be adding about 4 ounces of fragrance oil (vanilla buttercream 15% vanillin) + 4 ounces of vanilla stabilizer + a couple tablespoons of sodium lactate. Also adding a couple tablespoons of...
