Iam new to soap making and have started off with melt & pour bases. Which I've enjoyed. I now want to try to make a hand cream or body butter. But only have these ingredients can anybody suggest or advise on a good recipe. My products I have at hand are :-

Shea butter
Coconut oil
Jojoba oil
Almond milk fragrance oil

Could I use the above to make a nice simple hand cream. I don't really want to use bees wax if I can help it. Thank you all in advance for any replies to my thread. I greatly appreciate any advice.

For your ingredients on hand, I'd probably go for

40% shea
40% CO

For the liquid oils, I'd head to the grocery store and pick up some avocado oil and hazelnut oil.

10% Avocado
9% Hazelnut

1% FO


You really can play around with them until you get the skin feel you're looking for. Check out the links on the page I sent for great discussions of skin feel of various oils.
