Coconut milk soap question

When using Coconut Milk Powder, how much CMP do you use if your recipe calls for 16 oz. of water? My CMP says to use 1 TBSP in 8 fl.oz. of water. Is this how you would use CMP for a 100% CM recipe? If you want a little more lather, would you use a 3% lye discount and 1 TBSP of regular sugar PPO alone with the CMP?

If your package says to use 1 tbsp. per each 8 oz water, then, yes, I would go ahead and use 2 tbsp. for the total 16 oz. of water for your batch to make your soap a 100% CM batch.

Also, if it were my soap, I would reduce my superfat to 3% (if you don't want your bubbly lather to be diminished).

I also use 1 tbsp. of sugar ppo in all my batches, even my milk batches.
