    I'm curious about your Safflower experiment! update :) Those of you who soap more on the colder side- (100±) do you experience soda ash in your bars? I have read on SoapQueen that when soaping cold, at thin trace and with a high water content it's more likely to get the ash. So, 29% lye...

    Thank you both! When you all say "soap cold", you mean the temp of the oils is less than a 100? The temp of the lye solution should be equal to the oils? or just room temp?

    haha yeah I typed 5 for castor oil instead of 4. you noticed :D What I don't want is a fast moving batter that will trace and thicken very fast, because I want to make a simple design, so more hard oils might not contribute... how about this recipe? 40% Palm oil 31% olive oil 24% coconut oil...
