    CO76, CO92, MCT: Lauric Oil Comparison

    It has not caused any of my soaps to zap and I usually use a 1-2% super fat. If the value is off I feel like it could be more cleansing than listed. Just from personal experience with bars no technical data. But when I plug in what I like around 14 cleansing number on soapmakingfriend but that...

    CO76, CO92, MCT: Lauric Oil Comparison

    Cost isn’t great but everything I have made with murumuru is great. One of my favorite butters for sure.

    Time to make tallow

    I have only tried with my filter. I had it laying around the workshop no longer in use. So I have minimal experience, however, ladka’s unfiltered tallow above looks nice and makes me think of not having to clean said filter.

    Body butters

    You could always add more liquid oils. More liquid oils makes for a softer end product. I have made a batch before that was too hard. Then just added some liquid oil (argon, acia and sweet almond) to make a more creamy less stiff butter. Hope all works out for you

    Your Black Friday list

    I didn’t know about the free shipping over 30. I have almost 30 in my cart and they wanted $19.x for shipping. If I knew I could add one mica and get free shipping that would be another story! Ordering meow

    Dual lye bars

    Looks nice. I have to figure the dual lye thing out. I tried it once. Did a 95:5 and it just came out too soft. I plan to try again with my steric heavy bacuri butter bars since they come out natural super hard. Your soaps look lovely.
