Superfatted, ot not?

Someone just gave me a 7 pound tub of coconut oil.

I read stuff that says that if it is not superfatted it is too harsh for personal cleansing. But personally, i don't suffer from dry skin, I like lots of cleaning "power," and enjoy lather.

I would like an indefinite shelf life and I think if it is superfatted, it could go rancid.

Also, I have a large container of Walmart shortening that says it has vegetable and animal fat. I suspect it is mostly tallow, and I have made soap with similar products in the past with good success.

Any suggestions on what I should do? I am thinking of combining the two different fats.

My shipment of soda lye will be here in a couple of days.

Also, cold process, or hot? I have always done hot in the past.

Why do I only get soft skin from using superfatted soap bars with soft water? Are superfatted soap bars normally like this, and are they okay to use over regular soap?

I tried asking this in the No Stupid Questions thread and didn’t receive a response, so I hope it’s okay if I make a thread about this.

By β€œsoft skin” I’m talking like extremely soft, baby-like skin, even softer than I can achieve by moisturizing. I noticed this while using this soap at my parents’ place, where they have a water softener installed, and I couldn’t believe how silky my skin was. I usually get extremely dry, tight skin on my hands and feet just from contact with water, but not with this soap. Using it or anything else with hard water makes my skin dry, and using any other surfactant with the soft water also made my skin dryish, but I’ve still been trying to use syndets because they’re supposedly so much better for your skin.

Does anyone know what might be going on that hydrates/moisturizes my skin way better than synthetic surfactants? Is this typical for superfatted soap bars, and are they okay for skin, or does someone have evidence that even mild soap bars are still too harsh? I’d love to just throw in the towel on trying gentle body wash after body wash and go back to mild soaps if it’s what my skin really needs.

If I rebatch soap is it still superfatted?

Walk through this with me... I have some soap that I make often and I end up with scraps etc. that I want to rebatch. The original soap used oils and butters for superfatting but no essential oils. My head tells me that I shouldnt need to add any extra superfatting oils, that it will be superfatted at the same rate as the original soap. I don't rebatch often and I'm a little slow this morning. :-) Am I right or wrong?

A SuperFat's Guide to Plus Size Brands (Cross Posted)

Hey Y'all - as a big fat (size 28) I've been frustrated before by going to a site and looking through their offerings only to find out that their 4X measures out to a size 18.

I spent some time compiling a list of plus size brands and the measurements for the largest size they offer. This doesn't replace a size chart, just shows the top of the measurement range so you can gauge whether a brand will carry things to fit you.

There are also filters for vibe (alt, boho, trendy etc), whether a brand is fat and/or POC owned, if it has a sustainable mandate, and what type of items they sell. I've set it up to have an editable page where people can add brands I may have missed, and I will add them to the main list.

I wanted to share this in hopes it will help other people and/or save them some time or heartache while trying to find clothes.

Changing superfatted essential oil additives in a recipe?

Hello!

I haven't started making soap yet, but I got all my supplies last night. I have three books to go on, Cavitch's the Natural Soap book, Hill's Handmade Soap, and Cross' The Handmade Soap Book.

I am looking to make a lavender castile-based soap. One book has coconut oil in the main recipe, which I want to avoid because my stepmom is allergic (I know the soap result may not irritate her, but I don't want to chance it). My other recipe for Castile is ok, except the superfatted additives (30g of 3 different oils combined, like avocado, majoram, and fennel) are not what I want to use...I really wanted to add lavender instead.

Is it acceptable to substitute superfatted essential oils with others? Do I need to use 30 ml of lavender in this case? That seems a bit extreme.

Also, does it change the trace if I add a scrubby compound like almond meal or coffee grounds? I just want to make sure.

If I quite understand the process, I think the additives and essential oils we add at the end can be changed or swapped out without much problem, but I wanted to get a second opinion before I start.

Don't worry into getting too technical; I'm a chemist by way of career!

TL;DR Can I change superfatted oils added at the end of the recipe and still expect good results?

Superfat for a Laundry/Detergent Soap?

(Apologies for any formatting problems, on mobile!)

Like the title says, I’d like to try my hand at making a laundry/detergent soap - just a really basic, bare-bones recipe with 100% coconut oil. My question is, since it’s a detergent soap and not intended for use on skin, should I superfat the recipe, and if so, by how much?

Although I like to be as precise as possible with my measurements, I’m a little wary of going for 0% superfat; I was thinking at least 1-2%. Does this sound about right, or would you recommend I do more or less? Any tips and advice is appreciated!

the soap in question.

This isn't a commercial copy, I just want to make this for my own home use. It looks to just be a 100% coconut recipe with charcoal, but I'm not sure of what superfat content to do. At first I thought no superfat, but a pure coconut recipe is already going to be very tough and drying, so I'm thinking maybe 3-5%? Also I want a small buffer of oil to ensure all the lye is saponified

Superfat struggling TW, specific numbers mentioned, eating disorder

Y'all, I'm struggling so bad. I have gained well over 150 lbs since I started intutive eating. I have hired 2 professionals who are anti-diet intuitive eating coaches. (My current one is 500 a month for 4 sessions) I also have a therapist that is an intuitive eater and body positive. I'm at the end of my rope. I know weight gain was a possibility and I have been told that it will eventually stop, but it hasn't. I have hypothyroidism, PCOS, on a med that causes weight gain, and I'm under incredible stress. (my husband has brain cancer and I am a STAHM to an 11 month old.) I had preeclampsia in my pregnancy, and my blood pressure went sky high and never came down. I'm on 3 different BP meds.

I don't know how to make peace with food. I either eat all the things, or I restrict. There is no in between.

I legit don't know what to do. The weight gain is just not stopping and I'm so tired from trying to run after my son. Doing basic house chores kill me. I'm already thinking in my head, "I have to restrict this food and that food. I need to exercise. I have to stop this." It's on repeat in my head.

I want so badly to feel good physically in this body, but I don't and my clothes get tighter and tighter. I can't afford to keep replacing them. I'm talking like, pants are too big and 2 weeks later too tight. Am I the unicorn that this just doesn't work on? Can a superfat honestly do intuitive eating without it being dangerous? I' so afraid I'm going to end up bed bound. I have 2 women in my life who are due to weight gain.

What do I do? My doctors keep pushing for WLS. ::internal screaming::

I usually follow the 7% guideline as I've heard it's more conditioning than the typical 5%, I've even tried 8% (afraid to go higher because of soft soap or poor lather). I read reviews of people praising how this or that soap makes them feel like a baby's butt but none of my soaps give me that feeling? It just feels normal, a little dry, like regular soap.

SERIOUS: This subreddit needs to understand what a "dad joke" really means.

I don't want to step on anybody's toes here, but the amount of non-dad jokes here in this subreddit really annoys me. First of all, dad jokes CAN be NSFW, it clearly says so in the sub rules. Secondly, it doesn't automatically make it a dad joke if it's from a conversation between you and your child. Most importantly, the jokes that your CHILDREN tell YOU are not dad jokes. The point of a dad joke is that it's so cheesy only a dad who's trying to be funny would make such a joke. That's it. They are stupid plays on words, lame puns and so on. There has to be a clever pun or wordplay for it to be considered a dad joke.

Again, to all the fellow dads, I apologise if I'm sounding too harsh. But I just needed to get it off my chest.

I hate my superfat cousin because she thinks body positivity means that we need to praise her weight.

Title says it all. Wall of rant below. I'm so fed up with this shit and no one near me will discuss this with me because they are trying to be supportive. I'm irate.

My cousin and I are 10 days apart in age and she's always been fatter than myself. When I got to my highest weight, she started to ghost her friends who told her that she was worrying them because of her drastic weight gain. As you can all guess, this happened during college years when moving from one friend group to the next is common. She took this time to make friends with women who were also morbidly obese (~250+). When she noticed that I began to lose weight, she asked me how I was dropping it so fast. I lost a good amount of weight two years ago (198lbs>154lbs) and I did it through rigorous anorexia and OMAD near the end during toning. I was honest and forthcoming with my eating schedule (or the lack there of) and told her that I was eating once every three days and drank a ton of lemon water. I am content with OMAD, as I don't enjoy food as an activity. She began to jump down my throat about how I was killing myself. I told her that she was doing the same by gorging herself. She's a cryer and ran to her mother to tell my mother that I was bullying her. After that exchange, we hadn't spoken of it since. My mom, who lost 60lbs through Weight Watchers, agreed that I was not bullying her and that she needed to grow the fuck up. My mom also told me about our teenage years from her perspective and said this was a long time coming.

In the past two years, she has put on a hundred pounds. She's quit doctors that told her that her health problems were weight related and resorted to pseudoscience to condone her lifestyle of sitting on the couch for days and binging on garbage (chips, ready-made cakes, frozen Mexican food, gallons of soda, and candy are her favorite). She calls it "self care" and Facebook shames anyone who posts progress pictures of themselves claiming they are triggering to people who have eating disorders. She refuses to go anywhere that requires a reasonable amount of walking and I've watched her wedge herself in and out of her Toyota Camry. Fucking horse shit.

I got married on the 23rd and she was a bridesmaid (familial obligation) and refused to take pictures with me because "people compare women against each other and that's toxic" but takes selfies with her butterball fiancΓ© every. fucking. day. She popped the zipper on the dress I bought her like a b
