Can you help me understand the different goals or outcomes of increasing the superfat of a recipe vs using a recipe with a very high conditioning number? How would a high superfat soap compare on my skin to a soap with a very high conditioning property?
I notice that if I increase the superfat percent in the lye calculator, the amounts of the oils stay the same but the amounts of water and lye decrease while all the recipe properties (including conditioning) stay the same.
When I make soap, I've been using titanium dioxide from a jar that I have previously dispersed it in oil. So when I add a tablespoon or two of dispersed TD to my oils, have I been superfatting my soaps all along?
