I just got an idea about making soap from ayurvedic oils. They're basically coconut /sesame oils infused with herbs, in high concentration.
My question is, since I want to keep as much medicinal value as possible, can I add the ayurvedic oils at trace? And then blend again?
My thoughts are that 1) at emulsification the saponification is something like 90% complete, therefore adding the medicinal oils last should help out from being processed out by the lye monster
2) it would be just like adding super fat in the end
3) it would be just like adding eo at trace
I'm thinking of using around 10-15% medicinal oils.
Would appreciate your thoughts! Thanks!
