Hi All
I am relatively new to CP soap making, i.e. 4 successful batches in. Iam trying to get some feedback on determining specific oil(s) for super fat. I use the sopacalc (sopacalc.net) to determine specific combination of oils, it has a standard superfat discount of 5%. to my understanding this means that there will be 5% of unsaponified base oils left in my soap... correct?
my question is, if i want a specific oil(s) as superfat, (not a component of base oils) would it be safe to remove the superfat discount from soapcalc (make zero) and add the specific/chosen superfat oil(5% of total oils) at or after trace?
any response would be appreciated, save me ruining a batch and my 100% success record
