Hi, I'm wanting to make a salt soap with 50% salt, 80% coconut oil and 20% avocado oil with 20% superfat.
Problem is I always use brambleberrys lye calc but it only goes upto 10% superfat. All the other calcs are too confusing for me.
Could someone run this through a lye calc for me. I'm using a 10" slab. 50oz or therebouts.
Or if anyone knows of a very simple calc like BBs that goes upto the 20% superfatting?
 
I use SoapCalc and love it - once you've toyed around with it it's actually fairly simple. There's some extraneous information like the fatty acid profiles and stuff that you don't have to bother with if you don't want. Soapee seems fairly similar as far as I've been able to tell, maybe it has a few more advanced settings that I don't have a need for.
 
I really feel that Soapee is very user friendly and you don't have to go to a second page to see your results. They are calculated on-the-fly so even if you make a minor change to any part of the form, the result changes as you do that and you can see it all on the same page. If you need a bit of a tutorial on how to use it, Susie did one here. <-- link

I also agree with using Soapee and it saves all your recipes. Soap calc only saves 10 and they are gone if you clear your cache and cookies

I also like to save all my recipe sheets in Microsoft One Note which I can print to. Although Soapee saves the recipe I want a record of each batch, and who know Soapee could go away some day and all my recipes with it. Some here use Evernote which is a free for the basic program. https://evernote.com/basic
