So most of what I've read has recommended that using anywhere form 5-15% of hemp seed oil is desirable. But then I saw some one who said they added at trace, while others just add directly (before lye). Next, question, does hemp seed blend well with EO...like lime per say...how does the hemp seed oil smell in a final bar?
 
Doesn't matter when you add it, it's not that stable and tends to go rancid/promote DOS so keep it low.

Doesn't give any scent to the soap, so no impact on what fragrance materials you use.
 
great...I think I'll keep it to 5% and see how that turns out...thanks for the info, it's always good to know before you go.
 
Add all your oils or butters right up front. The lye will take whatever it wants. There is no guarantee that any particular oil or butter will end up as your superfat.
