I am wondering what oils tend to generate heat after pouring and at what percentage?
I like putting my soap through the gel phase and I know that sugars can generate heat. I know that using a heating pad and insulating the soap will increase the temperature or using a oven for generating heat are all options I can use.
I have did a lot of internet research but I can't find a concise article that covers oils that generate heat and why they create heat.
I know that coconut oil can generate heat but why does it generate heat.
I know I am asking a wide open question but if you have an article that you can point me to, I would appreciate it. I am just looking to gather as much information as I can.
My reason is simple, I love what gelling does for my soap and I am trying to settle on a few standard recipes and I want easy gelling to be a part of my recipe.
