Soapy Friends

Probably the most common question soapers ask when modifying a formulation is “what oil can I replace ABC oil with?” The short answer is, it depends on why you’re trying to swap the oils. Is it to lower cost, or replace an oil that’s hard to obtain? Maybe you want to replace the oil in order to change the characteristics of the soap… In this course we’re going to discus swapping oils for other similar oils, which allows you to replace an expensive oil with a lower cost alternative, while still achieving a similar product in the end.

Lessons include a video excerpt from a Members Only Zoom Session where we discussed alternatives for olive oil which has skyrocket in prices since COVID, along with SAP values, fatty acid profiles, cost comparison, and an overview of how to test the new oil(s) in your formulations.
