Shea Butter has an NaOH SAP value of 0.12800 and a KOH SAP value of 0.18000, meaning approximately 128g of sodium hydroxide saponifies 1kg of this oil. It is typically used at 0–30.00% of total oil weight in cold process soap recipes.
Shaded areas show the ideal range for balanced soap. Values outside these ranges may still produce good soap depending on the overall formula.
