There is a 90% chance I'm overreacting, but I might have messed up my first salt bars. I'm pretty confident I'll be fine, I'm just worried about my super fat.
Recipe:
24.03oz coconut oil
18.17oz fine sea salt
.42oz Sparkling Snowdrop FO
3.32oz NaOH
9.03oz water
plus micas and glitter
I honestly think I'm panicking about nothing but I am panicking. This recipe should have roughly 25% SF as calculated on SoapCalc. These are the exact measurements I used. For an accelerating FO it felt like it took forever to move past emulsion. Then I panicked because I thought I had too much batter then instantly realized that I had planned for that miscalculation to begin with. Now I'm stressing about super fat and starting to rant.
Point of this story, is 25% too high? Should I expect to rebatch to add more lye in later?
