Roe

[scard]

I'm a bit confused, if Roe is added to liquid oils to prevent spoiling while stored, do you then add it to your batches too?

Just to you liquid oils to help reduce/prevent oxidation.

I agree. If you don't add ROE to all of your fats up front, then you might want to add enough ROE to your soap batch to cover the untreated fats. I generally don't bother, since the untreated fat in my recipe is only a small % of the total fat. If you have to err when using antioxidants, it's better to underdose than overdose. Too much antioxidant can actually accelerate oxidation of the fat -- exactly what you don't want.

Great, that makes things much easier, thank you! I wasn't sure, having some untreated oils in the mix.
