I ran it thru the Soo's- this is what I got based on a 3 lb batch with 1 oz of FO per lb. It looks to be a very moisturizing and nice lather.Hardness: 16Cleansing: 6Conditioning: 81Fluffy: 33Stable: 10Iodine: 77INS: 112 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Even 100% olive oil will get rock hard over time. The addition of castor and PKO up the cleansing and bubbles. Should be a nice, gentle, mild soap. Perfect for a baby shower!e Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
diamondk Posted September 1, 2005 Author Share Posted September 1, 2005 Thanks e for the encouragement. Since I don't know who is going to be there I wanted to use a few oils but yet have it mild and gentle. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
