Thank you! I have no idea why she’s even going there but I wanted the opinion of someone with years of experience before getting back to her. Hopefully she will reconsider her lye strength. Safety first, always!

Is a 1:1 water to NaOH ratio safe to use in recipes with 5% superfat? I have never used a lye solution stronger than 1:5 just to have that built-in buffer but a soaper I am chatting with online says 1:1 is perfectly safe if you have at least a 5% SF. Sounds reasonable but would you try it?
