Lye calculator..For a lye calculator or the label? I'd just put olive oil, no reason to differentiate.
Thank you..The difference between olive oil and olive oil pomace is negligible and should be within the margin of error, tolerance-wise.
That said this article states that "refined" olive oil is just a refined virgin olive oil. And there's no difference on that lye calc for refined, virgin, and extra virgin olive oils. The only difference is between pomace and not-pomace olive oils. So I would pick "olive oil" and run with it that way.
Thank you... Used to infuse dandelions a few weeks ago and went to use it today to make a non related batch of soap since my mold came and I just happened to see both listed and was hoping not to have to break it down..some times I over think somethings..thanks for the helpCame back to add... I was just able to check and I have the exact same GV olive oil in my cupboard for soaping. So, yeah, I DO just pick the not-pomace option for this and run with it. No issues so far.
