According to soap making friend, the calc is set to 5 for sf, I add the entire 10 percent shea as usual, but add an extra 5 percent 25g after cook. Bringing my total batch to 525g. They lye amount is also alot higher than soap calc.

I make cold process soap all the time. So I'm very familiar with the process. I would like to start hot process. My question is do I set the SF to 0 in soap calc, and then add my desired percent after cook? My recipe includes 10 percent Shea butter, so would I only add half to main oils and the...

Okay so its 1130 here in Florida. I'm definitely one of those who can sleep 4 hours and be good lol Soooo I'm making test bars. I did the 33% of wax, butter and oil. It seemed too waxy for me. So I split the 33% wax portion in half, and did cocoa butter making it 33 percent total. Definitely...

To me it doesn't feel like that. Its just a nice lather and leaves me clean without feeling dry. Everybody's skin is different. I would do a small batch and see how you like it. I've never gotten back any negative feedback when I gift or sell these bars.

Mango butter is so nice! I have 5 lbs of it currently. I just made a nice whipped butter for myself with it.

I dont really have a set recipe. Its just 100 percent CO, superfatted at 20 percent and lye is usually done at 33 percent so I have more time to work with. Some recipes I do 40 percent lye. Sea salt is added at light trace with my fragrance. I use very well behaved fragrance oils, so the salt...

Thankyou! Yes, I meant to say 33 lol I have made some nice bars, just not that particular ratio. I make tons of soap, beard balms and whipped butters. The whole lotionbar or solid bar, is my new obsession! Lol

Thankyou so much! I will definitely post! Here's some coffee bars I made, but it wasn't that ratio. I did however use Mango butter which is probably my all time favorite butter to use! I will use the WSP calc and do a 2 oz batch to fill a mold. I'll report back! It may be later today, as we're...

I frequently make salt bars and my family and friends love them! I use 100 percent coconut oil, superfatted to 20 percent. I also use coconut milk as the carrier for the lye. My son who builds homes and has his hands in concrete all day, will only use these. They create a luxurious lather, and...

Good morning from FL. This is my first post, be gentle lol I do have a question regarding the 1/3 ratio. Is that 1/3 percent of each? So 1/3 oil, 1/3 butter and 1/3 percent wax? Or is this 1/3 cup? I've been making lotion bars for a few months, but I'd like to try this ratio. I apologize for...
