So this period I'll try to make two test batches of soap that will have exactly the same recipe/additives apart from that the one will have Sunflower HO and the other EVOO and each one will have its own Fragrance Oil.
Here is the recipe:
EVOO / Sunflower HO 40%
Lard 30%
CO 15%
PKO10%
Castor 5%
SF 3%
Lye Concentration 33%
Additives: Oatmeal flour, Sugar, Salt, Sodium Citrate, silk fibers, FO: orange / Black Rasberry Vanilla - (all FOs don't accelerate).
I'm doing this experiment so as to see if the results (how it feels while bathing) will be the same/alike based on the fatty acid profiles of the two major oils. Their fatty acid profiles are almost the same and here are the information from their labels:
Sunflower High Oleic
Extra Virgin Olive Oil
From the above labels the fatty acid profiles are:
Sunflower:
82% Oleic Acid
8% Linoleic/Linolenic Acids
9% Palmitic/Stearic Acids
EVOO:
78% Oleic Acid
7% Linoleic/Linolenic Acids
14,5% Palmitic/Stearic Acids
In a maybe third experiment I will instead use 40% Pomace Olive Oil that has almost the same fatty acid profile as the other two.
The cost for buying these oils is:
Sunflower HO 13E/Litre,
EVOO 5E/Litre,
Pomace Olive Oli even less than 5E/Litre.
I just wanted to post this in case someone has to offer any advice or experience upon this experiment / recipe / or anything else.
