Carriegsxr6 Posted September 4, 2006 Share Posted September 4, 2006 I had alot of sunflower, emu and kokum butter laying around and wanted to use them up to make room, so I played with the calculator and came up with this: Coconut 16%, Sunflower 30%, Kokum Butter 24%, Emu 30%Hardness: 39Cleansing: 11Condition: 53Bubbly lath: 11Creamy lath: 28Iodine:53INS: 149Most creamy bars I have seen are very soft, so I was very pleased to see how hard this one was. I did my normal 33% lye concentration and boy did it trace within 2sec. I think it must have been from the high butter ratio, so I do not recommend a large water discount for this recipe, unless you want to work very quickly and pour pudding. However it did come out fantastic and super white. I also added some Chai tea leaves at thick trace. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Carriegsxr6 Posted September 11, 2006 Author Share Posted September 11, 2006 I am telling ya, the secret to this recipe is the EMU oil, it really gives it its luxury quality. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
