may I ask what you used for colorant?
Could you use palm kernel flakes with same result here. I love this recipe but am out of palm oil til next week….could wait but…why.
You could sub but you’d need to run it back through a lye calc as the amount of lye could change. It’s superfatted at 5%.
can i use epsom salt as substitute for the sea salt?
Yes! You can sub with any salt.
