Teach Soap

You would think that I would remember but......

Ok, I am very sorry to have to ask this! I haven't made CP in about 2 years and I have gotten the itch again, SUPER BADLY!!
Since I don't have numerous batches under my belt unlike you glorious ladies, there are a few things that I forgot! The one thing that I do remeber is that the lye goes into the water, not vice versa, that you need oils like olive, coconut, etc., fo or eo, and that you can add additional elements if you choose to do so. The main thing that I forgot is the ratio of each oil to each oil. If I am not mistaken, if I was to use coco and olive, it would be 80% olive and 20% coco oil? I CAN'T REMEMBER! I have all the ingredients and know that I can use the lye calc but the ratios is what's stumping me!! Please help!!!

80/20 is a good ratio or you can go with 75 Olive to 25 coconut (this is my fave!) I superfat at 7%. If you want to add castor, do 75/20/5. Good luck with your batch!

Thank you, I'm working on it now, it'll have to be a nude batch because I don't have any colorants!
