Yes, you don’t need the GSE. You should be fine. One recommendation, I’m thinking this is someone else’s recipe you’re trying. Be sure to run it through a soap calculator to be sure the measurements are correct. Errors happen in print.
 
This looks to be a very nice recipe

Not only can you leave the GSE out, I would encourage you to do so. Here's a link to an explanation from MMS about GSE. In my experience, it's pricey, hard to find, ineffective as an antioxidant and unnecessary as a preservative.

PS: Cheetahs are one of my favorite animals... I prefer the natural color tho. LOL
