CAN I CHANGE THE RECIPE FOR OILS?

For cold process soap unfortunately you cant change the recipes for oils without running it through the soap calculator here. Every oils requires different lye amount. Slight change can make a huge impact on the final quality of the soap. If you want to change do it at your own risk. If you would like to learn how to formulate (ie change the recipes) we have a online soap class conducted via facebook that you could join here. Its a business class (more for those who wants to start a business in soapmaking because we cover marketing As well)
