Carrie Posted September 3, 2005 Share Posted September 3, 2005 I am trying to make a new recipe using tallow. I want the bar to be white without using TD.Here is the recipe I have so far.Tallow 50%Coconut Oil 10%Castor 5%Palm Kernel 10%That is 75%. I know the recipe is high in hard oils, and tallow makes a hard bar. What other suggestions do you have? I don't know which soft oils to use to not discolor the bar. I also have some OO that says 100% olive, it is light in color but I can't find pomace locally. (Would I use OO or Pomace on soapcalc?) Would this darken the soap any?I could change the percentages but I only have 16oz of Tallow.Thank you Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
diamondk Posted September 3, 2005 Share Posted September 3, 2005 do you have any soybean oil (hydrogenated)? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bunny Posted September 3, 2005 Share Posted September 3, 2005 Just use the regular OO sap on sooz.. Just an added side note, NG's pear berry discolors white! Gotta love it!Edited to add: Be sure to use the max amount of water, and you may have to soap a few degrees warmer to keep from getting a false trace.

Carrie Posted September 3, 2005 Author Share Posted September 3, 2005 I was thinking about using some goat milk. Does that discolor soap also? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bunny Posted September 3, 2005 Share Posted September 3, 2005 Yes, it will be orange if you soap hot, and a creamy tan to beige if you keep from scorching it. Why not try coconut milk instead for a white bar? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Carrie Posted September 3, 2005 Author Share Posted September 3, 2005 I have some of that. I'll do that. What about the light colored OO. Will that discolor the soap any?Thanks for your help Bunny. BTW I sent you a pm on SWS Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scent Cellar Posted September 3, 2005 Share Posted September 3, 2005 I use a recipe with lard, coconut oil and olive oil and it turns out white without using TD. I use the extra light Bertonelli olive oil. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bunny Posted September 3, 2005 Share Posted September 3, 2005 It should stay white, not a bright white, but white. Off to SWS.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
