SoapLog is a public soaping log with a lye calculator and version control! I built this as a way to gain a deeper understanding of what a lye calculator computes and to record details about my own soaping experiments. If you’d like to deploy your own SoapLog you can simply fork this project to host a SoapLog on Github Pages for free.
Saponification Values
SoapLog uses the following saponification values. To reference a fat or oil in a recipe use the variable name appended with either _ounces or _grams depending on the unit of measurement. For example to add half an ounce of Sweet Almond Oil to a recipe write sweet_almond_oil_ounces: .5.
