Hello fellow soapmaking friends. So I took the advice and did some research and watched a few YT vids on how to use a soap calculator. Honestly, I’m not sure why I was afraid as it seems pretty simple and the “Getting Started” guide for beginners on Soapcalc was pretty helpful as well. So I’ve played around with it a few days now and I think I have a pretty good recipe with a INS number that is pretty acceptable for me. I plugged the recipe in for a 5 pound mold but will scale it down for my test batch. But I wanted to share it here just to have a second set of eyes to ensure that the recipe looks good and the water percentage is where it needs to be to prevent glycerin rivers or if there is anything wrong and/or needs to be changed. All helpful advice is pretty much welcomed and appreciated.
