Hi everyone.
I have previously purchased tallow for soap making (definitely not suet fat) and it works great in cold processed soap. I used the same formula with suet tallow I rendered and it gets quite thick when I mix the room temp liquid oils with the melted tallow, lard, cocoa butter & coconut oil. Then, when I add the lye water….holy moly it traces fast. Has anyone else had this experience? My formula is:
22% olive oil
25% tallow
20% lard
18% coconut oil
5% cocoa butter
5% Castor oil
5% avocado oil
