Teach Soap

I just made this soap:

coconut oil 7 oz
avocado oil 5.6 oz (thats what I had left from a lotion batch )
crisco 18 oz
olive oil 18 oz

18.5 oz water
6.5 oz lye

it's gelling right now but looks really weird. Now I'm thinking the e-oil mix i added screwed it up I added a 1oz mix of lime e-oil and ylang ylang e-oil. BTW it smells gross right now. When I mixed it it smelled pleasant now it's nasty... LOL So we'll see i'll post pics if I can. Yesterdays soap is looking good, it's already really hard and lathers well.

Ylang is very strong and can take over a blend. How much of each did you use?

oink, I sort of mixed it into the avocado thinking I would use it as a body oil (before my soaping adventure), then thought what the heck lets put it in the soap... So I added the e-oils pre trace ...

I didn't know you could add your EO's & FO's to your oils before trace. Do you add the EO's & FO's before you add the lye mixture? That would be great for me since I can't seem to get my act together quickly enough to add everything at the last minute. Can vitamin E be added before lye mixture also and still retain properties?
