I bought a gallon of what i thought to be pomace EVOO this past Sunday which turned out to be 95% Soybean Oil or Canola oil / 5% EVOO . i tried return it but due to the fact that i opened it already it can not be returned. so safe to say it's mine now . Those two oils i have long refuse to use for soap making , due largely in part for them being GMO's . I dislike waste and there is no one that i know that uses those oils so i'm thinking on trying [my heart is heavy just thinking about it ] to make some soap just to get back my money .
so the question then becomes how would i plug it into the soapcalc seeing that i'm not sure which oil it is (soy or canola ) and how do i figure the percentage seeing that a little olive oil is in there as well ..... do i plug that in the calc as well ?
My mind is thinking on adding some avocado oil , castor, palm kernel oil , shea butter and a touch of kokum butter as well. so would i say using 4lb slab mold , 50% of the soybean oil that 5% is really EVOO so i would plug in 45 soy and 5 olive oil ? Or what is the better math to find this out?
thank you for all replys , i'm still so sad about this mistake .
