    Question about soap calc

    I really like how it all comes up after the view/print as well. It's nice to have that sheet handy. I cut it out, write the date and any fragrances I use in the notes section and keep it with the soap while it cures. Handy incase you forget what's in everything you've got ha

    Looking for a good beginner soap recipe

    My first was just an 80% Olive Oil 20% Coconut Oil soap Put it into SoapCalc for how MUCH you wanna make, and it'll give you the measurements & the water+lye measurements in a nice printable form. Makes a pretty nice bar of soap I think.. gentle on the skin
