I've made 3 batches with it and they seem to be fine. However, one of the batches is 3 weeks old and the other is 2 weeks old, both have great lather. I also used oo, coconut, sweet almond and castor oils in the batches. I used it because its cheap and readily available. I'm learning to soap so that I can use it as a fundraiser for our school garden and need cheap, I mean inexpensive :wink: but good ingredients. I've even seen a recipe or two where that is the only oil they use. Good luck with it.
