lye concentration

[naturalcare]

Dear friends

Can you please tell me volume and the concentration of the lye solution I need to make soap using 500 gm of oils ( olive oil, castor oil, and coconut oil)

Thank you

Need to run the amounts of each in the lye calculator.

I prefer this one:

But this one may be what you need, if you only have certain amounts (grams) of each oil. Be sure to tick the "grams" box and wait for it to update to that before calculating:
