Calculating Salt Soaps

[tlbellino]

Hello.
When trying to calculate salt soaps in the calculator, what should the numbers read for a good salt soap like what is shown below? I put in a general recipe for a salt soap, but below is how it reads, which doesn't show it's a good bar of soap. Didn't know what ranges a salt soap should be in. Any suggestions are much appreciated when trying to formulate a salt soap. Thanks.

Well, the calculator can give you the basic qualities of a regular bar, it cannot give you the qualities of a salt bar because the salt is not part of those quality measurements.

My favorite salt bar is 100% coconut oil super fatted at 20% with 50% salt of the amount of the oils. The stats on those qualities would make you think it would be a terrible stripping bar of soap due to the super fat and the salt. It is actually a rich luxurious bar and it’s one of my favorites.

I make mine the same as Yooper has described and it's great. The calculator can't help much with salt calculations.

Are you finding that your calculations are off while working with salt bars? I have not been on my recipe area for a while, and when I just went to print my recipe of a 70oz batch, it keeps showing my oils at 70oz as well. The entire recipe doesn't make sense now. It did not do this before. Thankfully I printed out my old recipes. Let me know if there is a fix for this. I've tried quite a few different things but no luck.

Can you give me a link to the recipe so I can take a look?
