Haha, ok great! Will test it soon. Am still waiting for my thermometer before I can.

Ah ok Susie. Thank you so much! Just thought there's some interaction between the oils that I wasn't aware of maybe hehe. So should I omit the Castor as well in the test batches?

What is the reason for not having both OO and SO?

Breeze - Sea

How about this? I have sunflower oil that I need to use up :-P

Hi, I'd please like to hear some thoughts and advice on my first batch of CP soap.

Thanks for the advise ;-)

Shunt2011 - that is why I havent tested it yet(tho I'm dying to), I am waiting for my mylar as my wax paper is too thin and keeps tearing.

Afterwasting money on plastic moulds that break, warp and are difficult to unmould, I made this:

Crop

Thanks for everyones advice, will try 20% HO sunflower oiland let you all know my outcome!

I tried looking for the "3 month" but couldn't find it. The other link is here

I have read that sunflower goes ra cid after 3 months and also that it resists rancidity due to its high Vit E content. Now I'm not sure what to believe anymore. Can anyone advise me from experience on its shelf life?

Duck hunting isn't that big in South Africa (that I know of). But deer fat is a resource I will have that otherwise would have gone to waste, so might as well learn to utilize/monetize it :-D

Lol!!

To tell you all the truth, I do plan on making a deer fat rich soap in the future, will have about 300kgs of deer fat next year as my dad owns a game breeding farm. :O But for now I just want to practice with veggie soap. :-)

I'm not vegan, but some of my friends are and want them to be able to use it too.

OK, taken your advice in account and the fact that sunflower oil has a 3 month shelf life (read that somewhere), here is my new recipe: Palm Oil: 50% Olive Oil 30% Coconut Oil, fractionated: 15% Castor Oil:5% Hardness 45 Cleansing 16 Conditioning 54 Bubbly 20 Creamy 34 Iodine 56 INS 157

Thanks for the advice, guess it's back to the drawing board with my recipe. Thanks for the recipe, will look if palm oil is available, trying to keep the soap Vegan. Well sunflower is quite cheap here, hence that being my main ingredient.
