I IM being told that hemp oil is not ideal for soap making as it can cause the bar to go bad, idk the official terms but I'm only using it infused with Rosemary to avoid the spotting. I want it to work as yes its a much better oil, I have tried to limit coconut oil but it is the only...

Yeah im going to use the percents to calculate the ounces It's just the screenshots to keep it all in one view on this app say the grams not the percents. Sorry for the confusion, thanks for the help.
