Scented Posted June 29, 2006 Share Posted June 29, 2006 Now it's the lower the number that would make a harder bar right? Or is there a range to fall between?Like 115 would be better than say 131 right? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rebecca_IA Posted June 29, 2006 Share Posted June 29, 2006 I've never paid any attention to it at all. I do pay attention to the percentage of "hard" oils/butters and the fatty acid percentages. I think that holds more weight, IMO. Others will have different opinions. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TerriWV Posted June 29, 2006 Share Posted June 29, 2006 U don't pay attention to the INS either. I go by the Iodine# for the hardness. That's the number that..the lower the number the harder the bar. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
diamondk Posted June 29, 2006 Share Posted June 29, 2006 I was told not to pay that much attention to the INS #. It would be the other numbers that I pay attention to and I usually have the iodine # in the 60's. HTH Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scented Posted June 29, 2006 Author Share Posted June 29, 2006 OK I meant the iodine and I didn't come back to correct it. I made myself make a batch of soap instead But thanks for that info ya'll Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
