I've been gathering ingredients up to make a coffee soap. One ingredient that I decided to try was coffee butter. The problem is that I cannot find Coffee Butter on soapcalc :(

Is there a lye calculator that has coffee butter listed, or is there a butter or oil that acts just like it and can be subbed in the calculator?

Thanks!
 
Where'd you get yours? Most coffee butters are a combination coffee seed oil & hydrogenated vegetable oil. I see at FNWL, their coffee butter has a NAOH sap value of .132, which on soapcalc happens to be the sap value of coffee bean oil, green.
Or you can use BB's lye calc, which has coffee butter on it

I got it from BB. And the problem with BB's calculator is that it doesn't give hardness, cleansing, bubbliness, etc etc for the recipe. I didn't know if there was one similar to Soapcalc that had coffee butter included ^^

Yeah, that's a little annoying.

I'd just go with the coffee bean oil.

Lessons not learned. What do you do when your batter seizes? do some FO's react poorly with ground oatmeal?
