3-10% in cold-process soap (add to oils); 20-40% in balms for firmness. SAP ~0.069 NaOH – use a lye calculator.

Can it stabilise creams and lotions?

How should I store it in Australia's hot climate?
In a sealed container at or below 30°C. Refrigeration optional in extreme heat to maintain pellet form.

Is it suitable as a vegan alternative?
