Oh..I understood now. Thanks all for taking time to reply.

Hi, Sorry if its a silly question. I came across this recipe in a website. They have listed all their ingredients in percentages. How to find out the total oil portion alone for a total of 100% as we usually do? Why do people list the ingredients like this? Palm Oil 29.86%, Coconut Oil 17.06%...

Hi, Where do you purchase them in India? I couldn't find crude ricebran oil.

Hello! I hope everyone is doing well. I'm excited to try out a new recipe, and I've decided to experiment with the super-fat content by setting it at 10%. However, I'm unsure if this percentage is adequate or if I should consider increasing it for better results. I understand that this may not...

Hai.. Actually I set superfat as 0 in soap calculator and added 5% Shea butter seperately not with the regular oils. That's one of the soaps I made while I was a newbie. At that time I didn't know that there is no use of adding an oil or butter seperately as a superfat in cp soaps..😊

I was really thinking about this 2 days back. Thank you so much for your suggestion.. And yes Rajasthan is really a hot region compared to Tamil Nadu

I've tested few recipes and haven't kept record so far but hereafter planning to keep a track. A 100g soap lasts for about 20 to 22 washes, so I use a full soap and then only go for the next one. I've not tested soaps based on climatic changes. This really makes sense. Better I'll stick to the...

Actually I've tried palmolein at 50% in a recipe. The soap is great and non sticky. It adds longevity to the bar and as a bonus it's very cheap. I've given the soap to a few people. No one complained and they liked the soap. I've tried a recipe similar to @KiwiMoose coconut, palmolein and...

Hi...Yes I've tried soaping with soy wax but haven't used a whole bar till now. As I have soaps older than the soy wax added batch, I have just tried a small piece for 3 to 4 days. It was good on my skin and non-drying. The only problem with leaving out palm olein completely and adding soy wax...

Hi...

Thank you so much for your quick reply. I too never use refined oils for leave on products and always choose the best quality oils(extra virgin, cold pressed) for the leave on products. My doubt is only for the soaps. So based on your reply, I'll conclude that there is no issues in soaping with...

Hi..I recently tried a recipe with 50% Palm Olein and the rest of the oils being coconut, castor, rice bran and a little olive(less than 5%). Surprisingly my skin really felt better. It didn't dry out my skin at all. Thanks a lot for your suggestion @Saponificarian. My only concern is 65% of the...

Oh thanks a lot.. I've been using goat milk Bastille(cured for almost a year) for my younger son from his 6th month and he's 1.5 yrs old now with no possible skin issues. I'm a CP lover too..Thanks for clearing my doubt..

This recipe is safe to use for a 2 yr old baby right? I'm little hesitant to use soy wax for small kids..That's why wanted to get suggestion from an expert. I replaced 15% of olive with rice bran..Added milk as replacement for water and 2 teaspoons of herbal ubtan powder(mixture of 16 herbal...

Thank you so much for the quick response ma'am🙏🙏

Hi.. As I love experimenting I would like to try the following recipe. I've already made a 100% coconut oil soap with 20% superfat and love it. As it dissolves very quickly, I came up with the following recipe. I wanted to try a soap batch using only cold pressed(not chemically treated) oils and...

Hi..Can I use soy wax soaps for my son who is 6 yrs old? Now I'm using a Bastille soap and he finishes a 100g soap in just a week😀😀..Can I go ahead with the recipe given below Coconut 15, Pomace olive 50, soy wax 20, castor 5 & Shea 10??

Hi...any update??😊😊

Okay..Thanks😊

@KiwiMoose I assume that you cure your soaps for 6 weeks. What's the weight of your single soap bar and how many washes(approx) the soap stays in shower??
