Was thinking about using Apricot Kernel Oil at around 12% to 14%
with a 6% or 7% SF in CP recipe.

Anyone use this oil in soap at this high of % find it adds a little extra goodnesss to your soap or no difference at all compared to using a oils?

I'm not worried about cost since I don't make soap as a business.
 
I use it at 10% in a recipe that i love . What it brings to the overall soap is somewhat hard for me to say due to the fact of the overall recipe. I do use it in low % in beard oil , hair oil , and skin butter and love it , it absorbs into the skin without the greasy feel.
 
I use it in my soaps but never at more than 8%. I think it makes me skin feel softer compared to soaps without it. I'll have to try it at 10%.
