Teach Soap

Hi All,

Today tried out a baby soap recipe that originally called for olive oil. But since this client is allergic to olive oil, I replaced the same with rice bran oil. The original recipe is by mommypotamus and can be accessed here http://www.mommypotamus.com/diy-bar-soa ... or-babies/

I cut down the recipe by third, replaced some oils and ran thru the lye cal to get the following cocktail: (superfatted @ 10%)
10 oz coconut oil (virgin)
3 oz Castor oil
25 oz ricebran oil (calendula infused)
4.87 oz lye
12.54 oil
1 tsp sodium lactate

Followed the regular cold process method but for some reasons it traced very quick. Is the recipe wrong? Or was it cause of the calendula infusion?? Have kept it insulated so will know the outcome after 24 hrs only. This is my first time soaping with ricebran oil.

Do you think it will turn out well? Any comments about the recipe is welcome. I would love to know your take on this please.

Thanks in advance

Rice bran does trace faster than olive oil so that could be part of the problem. I doubt it was from the infusion.
