Teach Soap

Probably a basic question...

I want to make salt bars but the recipe I'm looking at calls for:
12.8oz Coconut oil
2.4oz Avocado oil
0.8oz Castor oil

4.82oz Water (reflects a 20% discount)
2.43oz Sodium Hydroxide (reflects a 15% discount)

16oz Sea Salt

I don't have Avocado oil, can I use canola or olive ( I have palm too, but I think that's another solid) instead as long as I run it through a calculator?

any other advice on salt bars would be appreciated too. I understand they need to be cut soon after being made before they get too hard.

Canola makes for a soft soap. I would use olive oil. Just recalc. your recipe.

Try using the coconut oil and the balance in shea butter. Makes a nice bar!

Question though, you are using 16 oz salt with only 15.4 oz oils?
You will get better results only using about 80% of your oil weight in salt.
