I rely heavily of the FA profile to formulate my recipes.

@earlene was kind enough to put my estimated profile into a custom oil profile that anyone can use in the SMF calculator.

@Mobjack Bay Did I do this correctly? From the SMF app, I went to my profile and clicked 'my custom ingredients.' From there I clicked the plus sign in the top right corner, filled in the FA numbers and saved it. There wasn't an option to choose between KOH and NaOH for the SAP value, so I typed in the SAP for NaOH since I only intend to use this ingredient in CP soapmaking.

I couldn't find this particular wax among the oils either (I even checked the additives list). Funny enough, even if the app/web version doesn't ask for KOH SAP value, it's still present in the results (see attached photo).

But you should be fine, as long as you use NaOH in your recipe and that's what you typed in
