I used up the last of my MB fats on a batch of soap this morning so I thought I’d just bust out a fresh batch, and I totally goofed up! Not paying close enough attention and feeling over confident in my process, I guess.
I had my olive oil in my big ol container and grabbed the next liquid oil and went at it. At the last gram, it dawned on me that the bottle felt different and sure enough, I was adding castor instead of sweet almond! Ugh! Enough castor to make it 13% instead of 5% for this batch size. So I do math the hard way, probably over stressing, to figure out how much more olive I need to balance it out. Well, of course, I don’t have that much olive in my jug, so in the middle of all this I had to stop to run to Costco. DH goes with, and we get everything on my Costco list including the OO - aka not just a quick dash to get back at it.
I am finally done, and now I have a jug of clearly and boldly labeled Olive/Castor blend for my next MBs.
