Hi all! Trying to formulate a recipe for a client's special request custom batch - he wants a soap that looks like sushi rolls, with as-authentic-as-possible ingredients.
I've always got avocado and rice bran oils and I've already sourced salmon oil, but I still need hard oils, even though it's a soleseife soap... don't I?? I found a Soy Butter Blend on WSP, but I have qualms... A.) It's a blend, so I'm not completely sure what's in it, and B.) Soy is still a soft oil, even if blended into a "butter", isn't it? I could use veg shortening I suppose, but trying to keep it as real as I can...
If I use 20% or so sea salt into Cucumber water, will that be enough to harden up an all-soft-oil recipe? I've heard all the horror stories of salt water soaps crumbling apart and I certainly want to avoid THAT!
All help is greatly appreciated!!
