I used

30% sweet almond oil
30% rice bran oil
17% olive oil
10% Shea butter
8% castor oil
5% coconut oil

65g lye
130g water

done using a soap calculator

my oil blend was geranium, lavender and bergamot. I know lavender traces fast but this was faster than previous soaps using lavender in the mix. The recipe is new for me so wondering if any of the oils trace fast?
thanks in advance
 
Gotta watch those florals!
Yeah May have to hand whisk this one. Was hoping to try a basic swirl or something but pretty much had to spread the batter into the mould 😂. its great though I’m learning loads through playing. I mean it looks ”rustic“ as hell but its still soap. DH loves the fragrance so I may have trouble getting a look in.
