Hi all, Does anyone know the ratios for Chefs Quality Pomace from Restaurant Depot? Its an extra virgin olive oil/ pomace blend. Thank you!

Hello again, If you were following the soy oil thread (recipe help) this is a follow up. The client sent me the soaps she wants me to replicate and although they had some very nice qualities, I suspect DOS is resulting from the soybean oil. (Photo attached) I recommended High Oleic Sunflower...

Thank you for the info! Ill check it out :) Im still not sure why they want soy oil but Im trying to get to the bottom of it. Ty!

Thank you so much for the information. The soybean oil (vegetable oil) that I was looking into is at sams club. It looks like their version has a higher polyunsaturated fat (8g) and a lower monounsaturated fat (3.5g). It does say that it has a high smoke point though. Perhaps keep looking? You...

I've had this happen a few times when using honey. Mixing the honey with distilled water before adding it to mixture helps.

I really don't know what kind of Soy product it is and neither does the woman I'm making it for. It's listed as "Soy Oil"..... I'm just researching the different types of Soy products trying to narrow down what it could be. There is a language barrier on top of it all so it's been quite the...

Its marked as high smoke point. I typically add a chelator to all of my soaps but her soap doesnt contain a chelator and she doesnt want anything added to her recipe 🤦🏻‍♀️ Im also not seeing ROE in her ingredients. Soybean is listed as soy oil 🤦🏻‍♀️ Frustrating sometimes with special orders.

I was looking for hydrogenated but none found locally. Looking at 100% soybean oil (liquid). The palm shortening has the same SAP value as regular palm. Thank you so much! Im looking at Sams Club version for this soap. No additives. As you know, this isnt my recipe. Someone has asked me to make...

The palm shortening is 100% palm. Its the same SAP value as palm oil and Ive had no issues using it over the years. I was trying to find hydrogenated soybean but none found locally. Looking at purchasing 100% soybean oil (liquid). Before purchasing, wanted to hear the communities thoughts. Thank...

I was asked to create a recipe using those ingredients. They are looking for a good moisturizing bar of soap but I think costs need to stay low. I was planning to test once soybean oil arrived but thought to ask the community their thoughts in the mean time. Much apprecaited!

Hi all, Editing this for clarity: Curious what your thoughts are on this recipe: 50% palm shortening (100% Palm) 32% soybean oil (vegetable oil) 18% coconut 3% superfat I've never used soybean oil before. Will it cause DOS? Thank you for your thoughts and input!

Hello fellow soapers! I wanted to see if anyone has used micas for cold process soap from Just Pigments? Have you used their neon orange and neon magenta by chance? Appreciate the insight!

I reached out to the client to see if she could offer any more information. Im hoping its a votiv dupe. Keep ya posted :) Thank you for the help!

Hi all! I have a client who wants a red currant citrus fragrance oil for cold process soaps. All I have to go by is the name of the fragrance. I purchased red currant citrus from studiofragrance and sent her the cured soap sample. Its not the correct scent. Has anyone had any luck with Red...

Hello and happy new year friends! Can anyone recommend a good Peony fragrance oil for CP soap? I was using one from BB but it’s double the cost of all my other FOs so I’m trying to find something a bit more affordable for a client. I haven’t been reading great reviews from some other...

Curious what Peony fragrance you’d recommend?

Tried this approach yesterday and it worked well. The only downside was that the lye solution heated back up to 200 degrees once additional water was added. thank you for your response. What temperature are your fats at when you soap?

Thank you for responding. I added the extra water to the lye solution and threw in some silk to see what would happen. The lye solution reheated up to almost 200 degrees and the silk looks like it mostly dissolved. Good that it dissolved, not good that the solution heated up so high. I’ll have...

The video I watched was on soapequipment.com. They have quite a few up there and I listened to two different methods. When you add more water to the 50/50 solution does it heat up the lye again? I know heard that on the video. I’m curious because I haven’t been able to add the silk since I use...
