Absolutely. After my bag of stearic acid is empty, I'll try soywax. Do you fully substitute stearic acid 1:1 with soywax?This is what I use instead of stearic acid.
I like that it's a triglyceride so it will liberate glycerine into the soap.
No not really, but I wanna have something relatetd to my nicknameQ: did you find beeswax added a perceivable improvement?
But to be honest, I never checked, if there is a difference. Is it worth the hassle of making two batches with different fats just to see the difference? Maybe It's like homeopathy, faith helps
The lather is just fine, compact almost like yogurt (at least not bubbly). Bees wax is saponifiable, no trigycerides but Palmitic acid myricyl ester (mainly). Saponification is just another word for ester hydrolysis, workes here too.does it reduce the lather body given beeswax is very thick and unsaponifiable?
