Hi I want to try this recipe but why so much water

Zany, I tried your recipe. It creates a super hard bar, good lather, and a nice feel. Really like it. Thanks for sharing. I'm looking for a really simple recipe that makes a good bar. I've used up to 7 oils in a recipe and that's really too much for me. I think this will be one of my staples; it's simple and to the point. I saw you had a variation of this with 40% shea, 25% CO, 5% CA, & 30% OO or other oil. I'm going to try that also.

Hi did u try the viration of her recipe how did it turn out

You're welcome!

Did you S/F and how did u like your variation of that recipe

Hi I want to try this recipe but why so much water

I use the Default setting on SoapCalc for this recipe. I've never had DOS or soda ash. Advice: Try a small batch first before tweaking it.

4.1 oz. NaOH (116g) (5%)

The SF (aka "lye discount") is noted in the NaOH -- 5%

I make a 59% raw shea, 24% RBO, 12% CO, 5 Castor with a lav, litsea, lemongrass eo combination at 3% superfat and 30% Lye Concentration with a 6 month cure. It makes a lovely gentle bar that will lather nicely after the long cure time. Even better the longer the cure, I am just using up some that are 3 yrs old. I have used up to 75% shea for my own use.

Pour into greased molds.

Can I learn what kind of grease you use to isolate the mold?
I am using paper or strech film and it is hard to do it every time.

You're welcome!

I use WSP's Loaf Silicone Mold. I use unscented baby oil or mineral oil.

If using a wooden mold, or something similar, you will have to line it.
Look on YouTube to find easy ways to do that, depending on the type of paper you use.

 

[Bilemiyorum Altan]

I am using wooden mold and lining it with cooking paper (we use it in the oven tray) or stretch film . They both work well but hard to prepare that is why I asked.
I thing greasing a wooden mold does not work, must be lined.
Thank you.

 

[Zany_in_CO]

You're welcome.

Don't worry. We all go through that phase. You will get used to it and it will get easier the more times you do it.
