YES! I just ran your recipe through the soapcalc (adding in the grapeseed oil) to get the amounts in grams and it came to just what I was looking for, at least I think it did! I did go ahead and bump up the grapeseed a lil bit to 10% just to see what would happen and I think I'll be...

I haven't considered it yet but I'm open to ideas. Also thanks for the recipe, I think I'll give it a try! :)

Hi Hazel. Thanks for replying! No I only make soap! and the only reason i have this much grapeseed oil is because I found it deeply discounted and didn't want to pass it up. I think you're right. I will keep it to around 5% or so! doesn't sound like it's very good for soap at all...

I have grapeseed oil (a full bottle) and want to use it but I usually like making mostly OO soap (with a little CO) does anyone know the properties of grapeseed? if i use it with mostly oo will my soap be too soft? or actually does anyone have a good recipe using these oils...

If you don't want to rebatch it, I would just slice off the part you don't like (if that's possible) and see if that helps. I wonder if the liner was turned on the wrong side? still looks good to me anyway!

to me it looks like a yummy chocolate cake! :D

thanks again. please disregard my question! That thread was great! (i will use the search button from now on---i promise)!

I have also been hearing about using egg yolks in soap (supposed to be good for the skin) so does anyone use yolks or the white part of the egg? just curious.....

I am fairly new to soaping and I keep hearing everyone talk about salt soaps. What is the benefit of making salt soap. I have heard they're using sea salt. can someone enlighten me, maybe I will add salt to my soap too! :) thanks for reading
