Dean, so your recipe does actually contain regular soy oil as well as the soy wax? Or are you saying you manipulated the calculator to list the soy oil in order the get more accurate numbers for the fatty acid profile? Not sure which is the case in the second photo. If you did that, did it change the lye calculation at all?
Now, just to clarify, where is the information that shows Soy Wax (415) is 16.6 % soy oil, again? I'm not sure where you got that number. I mean, I do see the 16.6%, but that's for mono-saturated fats. I don't see how that computes to the content of the soy wax being 16.6% Soy Oil. And both linoleic and linolenic acids are polyunsaturated fatty acids, but the link to the soy wax data sheet says polys are 0%. Still not getting where the 16.6% applies to re-calculation of the soap formula. Sometimes it takes me a while, so please bear with me if it is obvious to you, but not to me. I obviously need more help understanding.
Another question for Andrew:
Or Dean if you know the answer.
Can you link a data sheet for pure hydrogenated soy wax? I couldn't find one, but am probably using the wrong search perimeters (sometimes it takes me a while to get there) to bring one up as yet. One that lists the melting point you mentioned (145 F) I'd like to take a look for comparative purposes. Thank you in advance.
