We call it, "Tropical berry" and folks seem content with that. - P

I can't seem to get my EOs to really come through that strongly in soap either. If I cool my lye before adding it to the oils, that seems to help a bit by not going over the flashpoint of the EO. And adding EO just seconds before pouring helps. As a experiment just to see what happens, I made...

Thank you Sososo, I achieved success with my spreadsheet. I created a mold with small blocks that can be adjusted based on the size of the soap loaf to create. I can now input the measurements of the mold into my spread sheet, and be confident I have accurate calculations. My values...

Sososo, I worked the formula into a spreadsheet, and then compared my results to soapcalc, and my values came out close, but the values are far enough off to cause concern. You've been awesome, and I feel guilty to ask this, but would you be willing to work the math for a soap recipe so I...

Sososo, Thank you for working on the math for this, I really enjoy seeing how things are calculated. When I saw your post on my cell phone I was very excited, so I rushed to the computer when I got home from work and tried out the formula. But I must be doing something wrong, and I'm hoping...

Sososo, Thank you for taking the time to explain, that does indeed explain the origin of .4 I'm now faced with a new problem. I would like to put this information into a spreadsheet. Your math skills seem stronger than mine, so let me pose this question: Based on the information in your...

How was the .4 calculated? I apologize in advance for my poor search abilities. Background: For several months, I have used the basic formula (H * W * L) * .4 to convert the volume of my mold into the amount of oil to put into a lye calculator. This method has worked just fine for me...
