Hi there. I'm pretty new at this I found a recipe online that I love and have been using. It makes 12 pounds of soap and calls for:
3 lbs. water, 17 oz lye, 4 lbs olive oil, 2 lbs. 8 oz coconut oil, 1 lb 8 oz palm oil and 4-6 oz of essential or fragrance oil. It says "To superfat, add 3.2 oz of shea butter to the oils" (which I do)
Underneath this recipe, it says "same recipe for a 2.5 lb batch" and calls for:
9 oz water, 4.6 oz lye, 16 oz olive oil, 10 oz coconut oil and 6 oz palm oil.
The recipe does not say ANYTHING about superfatting and adding shea butter OR how much fragrance to put in. Does anyone know WHY this would be omitted and how to figure it out?
