Olive 35% Palm 35% Coconut 20% Shea Butter 10% A nearly 2 pound batch with a 5% super fat and full water would be: palm 7 oz coconut 4 oz olive oil 7 oz shea 2 oz fo/eo 1.2 oz lye 2.79oz water 6.85oz This makes a really nice hard bar that lathers well! Also the numbers are nice: lodine 55 total ins 152 You can change that recipe for a more castile type bar to: 80% olive oil 20% coconut I personally think if you sub out a little olive and add castor oil at even just 3% (I like 5% better) it will help bunches. You can buy castor at nearly any "mart". Do you understand all about how to grind the oats and how much of them per pound and the eo/fo to use? I just kinda assume that people new to soap making have read everything top to bottom on Cindy Millers place. Good luck! |
