Hi there. First time poster. I’m learning SO much here! I’m new to soap making but I’m obsssessed! I’ve made 3 batches HP, and 4 batches CP so far. I’m super into tallow and use a high ratio, even %100 sometimes. I’m gearing up to make a soap bar for my face. I’d like to do %10 SF and add some sodium lactate. How and when do I actually add that? Also, the molds I bought are irregular shapes, how on earth do I figure out how much batter to make? I’m using pricy ingredients, so I’d like to be as close as possible. Here’s my recipe so far.
%40 tallow
%15 Shea butter
%15 cocoa butter
%15 Rice bran oil
%15 Sunflower oil
%5 Castor oil
%2 Sodium lactate
%10 SF
Pink micca opalescent
Chamomile eo
2 molds 46.32oz total, 3.86oz each bar
Maybes
Honey powder
Goat milk powder
