It'll give you the correct amount of lye for the ingredients you have entered, as long as you haven't changed the superfat amount to less than 0%   :buttrf:

On the first screen you'll see in the top right-hand corner that the setting for your superfat is defaulted to 5% so you are safe with your lye.  I recommend you stay with the 5% until you get comfortable with making soap.  I noticed that the water percentage is at 38 and that's fine too.

So you're good to go.

Hi everyone

Are base oils & carrier oils ok to be used I'm CP soaps, lip balms & body butters.  I found a really reasonable website selling them at a good price.
