Hello, everyone! I just thought I'd swing by and introduce myself as well as double-check with some more experienced users about a recipe I'd like to try.
My name is Sonya and I'm 22 years old. Currently I am away from college, trying to get back in after some mental health struggles. I don't know exactly what sparked my sudden interest in soapmaking, but I'm so excited to start. I just have to wait for my molds and get the appropriate gear to work with lye and I'll be on my way!
While I'm waiting, though, I thought since I found this forum I could pitch a recipe to you all just to make sure it won't be a complete failure!
The recipe I'd like to try:
37.5% OO
25% CO
18.75% AVO
12.5% grapeseed oil
6.25% sesame seed oil
Also, when using olive oil, is there a specific kind I should use? Pure, virgin, extra virgin, light, etc?
Thank you all in advance for your help, and I hope to stick around for a while.
