Hi experts I'm making my first batch of soap tomorrow (on my own) and have picked out a recipe that I like. I've taken a soaping class and have done the basics, but want to make sure I'm doing this right. The only thing different about this recipe is that it calls for castor oil at trace when I also add my FO's and additives. I've not seen adding oils at trace before and want to make sure that's "normal". The book calls it "superfatting", but I've not seen it done this manner before. But, I am a novice. Here is the recipe for a 2# batch: 4 oz. shea butter 8 oz. almond oil 10 oz. olive oil 10 oz. coconut oil --- 4.8 oz. lye 12 oz. water --- At trace, add: 2 TBL castor oil 2 TBL ground oatmeal FO of choice Does this look okay? I really appreciate any input and I know we newbies must drive you experts batty with our questions. Thanks, Avrilon
