Soapers Choice Pomace w/Rice Bran

[Candybee]

Anyone use this? How does it compare in your soap vs plain pomace? Thinking of switching. I've read rice bran is great for older skin types. Plus its cheaper. Can you tell the difference in your soap if you use it?

I have used RBO.  I like to use equal amounts of rbo and oo. Probably very similar to the soapers choice blend.  Less expensive and  I have not noticed a difference compared to using just oo. Never tried OO pomace.   Haven't run into any DOS (yet) either.  I also use RBO in my lotions and it feels very nice.  It does have a short shelf life tho.

Soapers Choice has the OO and rice bran combo that I was talking about. The rice bran ratio is 50% so it looks to be a perfect 50/50% split; half pomace and half RBO.

 

I am not too worried about the shelf life as I go through oils fairly quickly, plus the right combo of oils can help with extending shelf life.

 

Good to hear you can't tell the difference in your soaps using a combo of OO and RBO.

I have a gallon of it and I can’t bring myself to put it in Soap. I like my formula and will only change if market conditions force me to. 🤦🏻‍♀️🙈
