Hi everyone,
I have a read that it is best to keep brittle oils under 30% in most recipes. I am wondering about the rational for this. I have read that high percentage brittle oil recipes pose the risk of false trace if the mixture is too cool when soaping. Other than this, why wouldn't I want to use a high percentage of brittle oils? I understand that higher percentages of PKO can be overly cleansing. But what about shea butter and cocoa butter?
Thanks for your help.
