mustard oil?

[shunt2011]

You have a very high amount of liquid oils as well as a very high SF so it will remain soft for quite some time. Also, you really don't know what properties remain in the soap after saponification from the oil.

I've not used it but I don't use anything fancy in my soaps. I prefer to save those for leave on products.

I picked up some mustard oil at the supermercado today. It is approved for cooking. Does (has) anyone used mustard oil in their soap? I Googled it but didn't really find out too much one way or another about if it is safe. For every article I found that said it was good in soap for acne, I found a different one saying it is an irritant. I only spent $4 on a little bottle so if I can't use it I won't be upset.

Hi,

I am quite new to Saopmaking and made as many as only 5 batches successfully.
I used Mustard oil in one of my batches in combination with Sunflower oil, coconut oil, castor oil and cotton seed oil, here are my findings:

1. It took time more than usual in saponification.
2. Curing also took a bit more time.
3. Have strong smell but not too unpleasant
4. Bars made are quite harder and have less lather.
5. Bars became beautifully yellow in color.
6. Proven excellent treat for my hairs as well.
7. Conditioning for skin.
Overall I was satisfied with the result, except the lather
