Hello guys, I have been making CP soaps until now and have just ordered a crockpot and want to try HP soaps. The reason is that I feel a need to control what remains in the soaps and I dont want all my precious get damaged by lye.
Hope my premise is right and that it's the same reason why most people make HP.
I am not sure about the recipe for HP so here is my question:
If I want to make a HP soap with extra added nourishing oils or butters (which I add only after the soap is gelled, so that the oils dont get damaged by lye) - do I need to calculate them in the initial recipe through soap calc?
Or do I add just some certain quantities per pound which are recommended? How much is that?
Since the soap gets very thick and hard to work with, some people add water with salt in there before pouring. Do I need to calculate this too in the inititial recipe?
Or is the soap calc meant only for making the initial emulsified mixture lye water / oils?
I would be grateful for a reply or a link to some previous threads.
Thanks so much!!!!!
