Anna Posted January 11, 2006 Share Posted January 11, 2006 I am trying to make a 6 lb recipe.I am using the soap calc.What I don't understand is what oils you want to use less of,and what oils you want to use most of in a recipe.I don't want to make a soap that will dry your skin.My DH made me three two lb wooden molds with lids. This is the oils I have,Lard,veg shortening,canola,olive,coconut oil. Thanks Anna Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
