I'm still pretty new, and i've been playing around with and experimenting trying new stuff.
All i've got is:
Olive Oil
Coconut Oil
Grapeseed Oil
Vegetable Shortening (Crisco)
I've been doing usually an 80/20 OO/Coconut.. Superfatting with a bit of grapeseed.. it's a moisturizer right?
The crisco is okay to use right? Will it make my bars firmer since it's more of a solid oil?
Are there any other oils I should really get focused on picking up? Should i go heavier than I have been going on the coconut oil? I put one into SoapCalc and came up with
50% Olive Oil
30% Coconut Oil
20% Crisco
It comes out with some pretty good numbers.. 36 Hardness, 20 Cleansing, 59 Conditioning, 20 Bubbles, 16 Creamy, 63 Iodine
All of the numbers seem to be within a decent range.. but i'm not really 100% sure what i'm doing until I actually do it and see what comes out
Thanks for any tips/help
