Really should have checked for typos...on my phone and it keeps correcting things. Distilled water is 11.21 oz NaOH is 1.68 oz and KOH is 3.93 oz (Lye weight is 5.61oz total)
Sorry for the confusion!

Hemp oil 2 oz

Hello!
Brand new to soap making! I've been researching recipes and ratios for soap making, and I keep running into an issue with calculating my recipes. I'm trying to make liquid and bar soap without coconut oil (due to allergies) when u enter my recipes into the soap calculator on soapee.com...
