Avocado Oil has a saponification (SAP) value of 0.1327 for NaOH (bar soap) and 0.186 for KOH (liquid soap). It's typically used at 5-20% of the oils.
How much lye for Avocado Oil?
Lye at 0% superfat = oil weight × SAP. Apply your superfat to reduce it (e.g. ×0.95 for 5%).
| Avocado Oil | NaOH (0% SF) | NaOH (5% SF) | KOH (0% SF) |
|---|---|---|---|
| 100 g | 13.3 g | 12.6 g | 18.6 g |
| 250 g | 33.2 g | 31.5 g | 46.5 g |
| 500 g | 66.4 g | 63 g | 93 g |
