I have been using the same recipe as my base recipe for all my soaps. I can almost measure without even looking at the recipe. love it personally because my skin loves it.
Its very basic:
lard 50%
Oo 25%
CO 20%
castor 5%
33% lye concentration
I measured my hard oils, and i think i mixed up the 25% coconut oil for 20% oo (200g vs 250g and vice versa) But i only THINK i did at this point. For my mold i should have 500g of lard and 200g coconut. So thats 700g. I already melted it. I had to tare and remeasure, but include the bowl. But i dont know how much the bowl weighs presicely, and it was 863g total When i weighed it. So im thinking its confirming my suspicion that i overmeasured the co, cause the bowl isnt that heavy. Its not 163 grams.
Already had the lye mixture ready to go at this point. I ran it through soapcalc with the mistake to see what the lye and water difference should be, and it just a few grams of each (lye and water).
Another caveate is that i only used clay, so it was just added ~Tbls water, instead of all the extra added oil if i used mica.
so i left the recipe reversed.
Does anybody see anything fatally wrong with this mistake?? Its not by huge percentages.
But remember, im not even sure if i actually mixed up the oil percentages, but i am pretty sure i did....the 25% coconut oil vs the 20% olive oil.
This bach is going to be used mainly for dough and embeds. But i might be able cut a bar or two from it.
