I am considering trying Cocoa Butter in a new recipe (infulenced by all the chatter about cocoa butter on this board). I read that "Cocoa Butter, (Theobroma Cacao) has been traditionally used in the rainforests and the tropics for skin care. It has natural emollient properties, high oxidative ability and is highly unsaponifiable."

That being noted, I normally superfat 8%. If cocoa butter is highly unsaponifiable, do I:
  • (A) adjust my superfat % lower (in soapcalc)
    (B) not superfat at all, letting the unsaponifiable butter be the superfat
    (C) none of the above, just calculate as normal

Thanks in advance for any help.
 
Thanks carebear!

BTW ... If you can't cure stupid, someone should at least figure out how to treat the symptoms.
