So I made a batch of soap on Tuesday. I went to take it out of the mold and it is super soft. It's a simple 3-oil beginner's recipe. I realized after starting that I did not have enough palm oil. I know...dreaded mistake...anyway, I upped the coconut oil, but I see now that I should have done something else...not sure what. Here is the recipe:
Oil(s) Selected Amount %
Coconut Oil (Virgin) 8.16oz 25.00%
Olive Oil 14.68oz 45.00%
Palm Oil 9.79oz 30.00%
5% Lye (Sodium Hydroxide) Amount 4.588oz
Ounces of liquid recommended 10.77oz
Yields 47.99oz
Current Batch (total oil weight): 32.63oz
I was 1.5 oz short on palm oil. My question is, can I rematch? And if so, should I add anything other than water to correct this batch? Thanks!
