My girlfriend bought some Eco wax 415 to use in her candles. From reading through the mega shave soap thread I found this is used to make shave soap. I’ve made 5 small batches of varying shave soaps so far. Now my curious nature wants to try the soy wax but CP. Perfect timing since my little crock pot died on my last batch.
Can anyone with soy wax and shave soap experience give me some direction please? I have small amounts of coconut, castor and shea butter left over. I also have some tallow left but since I want to CP and won’t have the control over the superfat I think I’ll leave that one out.
My main question is what is a good percentage of soy wax to use? Since it’s 85% Stearic instead of my usual stearic/palmatic blend I’m wondering if I should use the 50-60% I’ve used in the past? Maybe go lower like 40%? I really don’t know what to do. I don’t have a lot of ingredients left so I can’t try different batches to see for myself without buying more.
Thanks in advance for helping me out!
