Okay, so I've made about 25 batches of soap, and I've been having great fun but I've managed to completely freak myself out about one thing in particular. Now, I don't sell soap and don't have any current plans to do so. Realistically, all of the soap I make is being given away to friends and probably will be used within 6 mo, if not fewer. So I'm really just being silly.
BUT, I'm positively paranoid about DOS. So I've been using a lot of oils that I know have long shelf lives, but...all of that olive oil and cocoa/shea butter is starting to add up. I need to use some cheaper oils.
These are the oils that I have readily available to me (either through a local store or inexpensively shipped to me), that I have not tried yet. I would like to try some of them but am completely paranoid about DOS.
My question is this. Of the following oils, which have you used, and what kinds of problems (if any) have you had with DOS? Are there certain percentages you would recommend of any of them?
Soy
Corn
Sunflower
Rice Bran Oil
I'm particularly interested to hear about experiences with soy. I don't plan on soaping with mostly these oils, but I do want to try out recipes that replace a portion of the costlier oils with one of them.
thanks for reading,
