Just for info, a cp soap batter cannot really sustain much more than 7% fragrance oil anyway otherwise it will split or ooze out while saponifying. As a general rule it's best to limit the load to 6% for that very reason. And for the same reasons that's why m&p is limited to 3% fragrance load even if the ifra percentages may state higher the batters can't hold more. Lovely soap Ellen!! Happy Independence Day! Canada Day for us is tomorrow! 🎉 🇨🇦

Yeah, I got the Sunflower oil/Olive oil blend from Sam's. It's cheaper than Olive on its own. I'm just watching out for DOS! I haven't seen any yet, though! 😊 Cool soap again, Ellen! Happy 4th! 🎆🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🎆

Great layers, I did the same as you for a rainbow soap and it took 3 hrs because I used a slow moving fragrance, never again. I have replaced olive oil with a mixture of 20 % Sunflower and 18% Rice bran keeping a eye on the Linoleic and Linolenic numbers by making sure the combined total stayed under 14

That really depends on how much you whip the butter.. My 8 oz jars would end up holding about 6 oz of product.

Wow I really want to try to make this. It will be my first. However, I don't have palm oil. Is there an oil that I can substitute
@EllenRuthSoap3 ай бұрын
If you sub any oils in a CP recipe, you'll need to run the numbers thru a soap calc to make sure your lye ratio is correct.
@margaretburrus54213 ай бұрын
@@EllenRuthSoap do you have any recommendations for substitution of the palm oil with another oil. I really don't know what else I can use. Thank you for responding though
@christeef68403 ай бұрын
@margaretburrus5421 there is no one to one substitution for palm oil is what she's saying. It adds to the lather and hardness of the bar like coconut oil and not much really replaces that. Babassu oil would be the closest or you can add tallow or lard. You can add extra coconut oil but that is more drying. Most palm free recipes add extra butters because you need the hardness. Regardless you still need to try different recipes through a soap calculator to see what works.
