Online recipe but soapcal shows 0's.

I know castile can have 0's in soapcal and be ok but what about when doing other oils like this. I got 0 for bubble and cleansing.

16 OO
8 PO
6 almond oil
6 shea butter

Its from a reliable source (one of BB sites I believe it is) but thought it was odd with no CO or castor in there. Maybe left out?

Are you sure it's not palm kernel oil?

 

[pamielynn]

In that recipe there's no lauric or myristic acid. You'd probably get SOME bubbles from the palm oil, but probably not a lot.

Yeah they it as a beginner recipe and it just said palm oil.
Wanted something basic but tested for practicing swirls in small batches

:razz: Then it doesn't make any sense to me.

I'd replace the shea ( I like to keep the costs down anyway) with either coconut or palm kernal oil and maybe up the olive oil a bit to 50%.
Recipe's high in olive oil will give you enough time to work with.
