Anyone soaped with peanut oil?

What % have you used & what did it do for your soap?

Peanut oil is not a good choice for soap; it is highly unsaturated which makes it very prone to spoilage (hello DOS!). For anyone with allergies to nuts it could be a disaster.

I've only used it once.
The soap now has DOS.
I only used a small quantity too.
I'd have to look it up but from memory it was only around 10%.
In saying that though it has been one of the nicest soaps I've ever made.

I've never tried it, but don't want to. With my career in the natural health field, I'm amazed how many people have severe allergies but don't mention it until they have to. I mean... how many people expect a soap to trigger a deadly peanut allergy? One of my massage clients likes peanut oil during her session, but I keep it in a clearly labled bottle, away from the other oils. Just in case someone saw no reason to mention his/her allergy.
