Thanks Dawni
Really interesting reading. How to I find out what the fatty acid profile of different oils and butters is? I've tried the following recipe in Soapmaking friend soap calculator but just can't get the Oleic value up above 35%. any suggestions?
caster oil 5%
CO 20%
olive oil 30%...
Hi
Thanks for your reply. I have been letting it cure for 4-6 weeks. Thanks for the storing in between uses advice.
I’m a vegetarian so lard and tallow are not options for me. I’m also not keen on using palm oil. Could you recommend other oils with a lower CO. I’m not sure what you mean by CO?
Hi
I’m new to soap making having recently been on a course near me. I live in the uk. We made a couple of soap blocks from the same basic recipe and they turned out fine. The ingredients we used are listed below.
Solid oils:
Rapeseed oil 13%
Coconut oil 32%
Liquid oils:
Olive oil 35%...
