| My
soaps are essentially olive oil, coconut oil, palm kernel
oil, almond oil, avocado oil, shea (or sometimes kokum or
mango) butter, cocoa butter, canola or rice bran oil, and
palm oil.I
use many different oils because each one has a special quality
to contribute.
Olive
oil makes a mild soap; almond and avocado are very moisturizing;
castor oil and shea butter are spectacular for the skin
(plus, castor contributes to a lovely, thick lather); cocoa
butter helps make a hard bar and is moisturizing; canola
and rice bran help make the lather silky and the bar shiny;
coconut and palm kernel contribute lather and hardness.
No
tallow or lard is ever used and my soap never contains any
drying alcohol, or petroleum products.
We
recommend that you always store your soap on a soap dish,
up out of puddles of water, so that it won't melt away too
quickly. Also, using a nylon “scrubbie” will generate
more lather with less soap!
