Hi
I have a quick question. I have been making cold process soap for about 6 months now.
My recipe called for 42 oz of water I decided to make 10 oz of that 42 be coconut milk
I added my 32 oz of water but forgot to add the 10 oz of coconut milk I super fatted at 5%
will my soap be ok? I have never done a water discount before is this what Ive done here?
I was afraid that by leaving the 10 oz out that my soap might be lye heavy?
The soap looks beautiful I hope it will be ok.
I would appreciate a quick response
Thank you very much!

As long as your lye was dissolved, your soap will be fine.

Lots of us do a water discount. It's not a problem.

Someone once told me that if your water at least doubles your lye amount that your soap will be fine. I've read where a lot of people discount their water.
