Hi every buddy!
My son and I have been practising
We have made 1-, 2- and 3-oil soaps and now that we have some palm kernel oil, we'd like to attempt a 4-oil soap. This is our proposed recipe (soapcalc doc attached):
Olive oil (EVOO) - 60%
Coconut oil - 20%
Palm kernel oil - 15%
Castor oil - 5%
I have not had much luck with olive oil in large quantities and sometimes miss out important recipe details, so I'd appreciate it if you could give this a look-see and let me know if it needs tweaking or if I've missed anything?
Additional questions:
1. This looks like it will be a decently hard soap, yes? So I'll have no need for sodium lactate, am I right? I used it for a Castile soap, but since this has CO and PKO, am I right to assume that there is no need?
2. I had used bottled water before [we have hard water here] and 1 or 2 of our CO soaps had spots which we think were DOS. We are using distlled water for this soap to be safe... should we consider citric acid or not?
Thanks so much!
