Adding yogurt

[sweet-pea-nut]

Hello all,
I made my first batch of cp soap last night. Needless to say I am hooked. I would love to add yogurt to my soaps but have a few questions. A few recipes I have found say to just add the yogurt with the oils. But how much? What percent? Do I just treat it as an additive and not have to do the math for it?

You would treat it as part of your water amount. But you would mix it in with the oils. Example:

Recipe calls for 7.4 oz of water. Use 3.7 oz water to mix with the NaOH, then 3.7 oz of yogurt added to the oils. You need at least an equal amount of water as NaOH to dissolve it.

But, you ignore it as far as the fats in there go unless you already have a very high superfat.
