I notice that Shaving recipes contain Steric Acid. Here in the UK we can buy it in powder form. If I were to add let's say 20% Steric Acid to a typical traditional CP soap recipe what effect does it have on the product.

Stearic acid is used as a hardening agent in soaps, usually around .5% though.

I think if you were to add it to a CP recipe in any quantity, it would seize up. I use it in a hot process shaving soap, and as soon as the lye hits it, boom! Mashed potatoes!
