Importand to Note:

• It is important to make sure that the luxury ready mix is fully melted and uniformly mixed before decanting into your soaping container. 
• It is important that the exact amount of 900g is weighed out.  There is a little more than that in the bottle, so please weigh out carefully.
• Follow the soap-making instructions thoroughly.
• This recipe is supefatted at 5%.  You may add more oils (max 3% or 27g) if you wish to superfat with more or specific oils.
