Well, I messed up this batch. I was supposed to add 131 grams (30%) of olive oil but for some reason added 131 grams of coconut oil instead when coconut should have been 96 grams. When I realized my mistake, my exhausted and spaced-out brain thought, it's ok, subtract the extra coconut from the olive oil and use 61 grams of olive oil. Don't ask me why I did this; it's been a long day. When I poured my soap into the mold, I realized I majorly messed up because it was half an inch too low. So instead of having 30% olive oil and 22% coconut, I don't even know what my percentages are now.
I know that the amount of lye goes by type and amounts of oils, not weight, right? So my question is, how doomed is my soap? Is there a way to salvage it? Is it going to be really lye heavy? I have never rebatched soap, so maybe now is a good time to learn? The correct recipe is below; ignore the liquid require, soap calc doesn't discount for vinegar correctly.
I used my whole bottle of white tea and ginger fragrance too.
