Hey everyone,
I've been making M&P soap now for close to 2 years and just decided to switch from WSP suspension base to WSP baby buttermilk, mostly for the oat extract and that its detergent free.
My only concern is the lather. Right out of the package it had a nice creamy lather, but once I added my normal oils that usually add to my suspension base, there's barely any lather left!
Here's the oils that I have been adding for TWO pounds of base.
2tsp Aloe Vera oil
1tsp Castor oil
1tsp Shea Butter
1tbsp Fragrance
Is that too much oils/butters?
In my suspension base, adding those oils never effected the lather, but with this new base, it cuts it dramatically.
Also, how much oil/butter per pound is usually actually needed to get the benefits of the oil? Such as my Aloe oil, is 2tsp too much? Or can I go 1tsp or even less and still get the benefits?
Any help would be much appreciated as I'm pretty stumped! Thanks everyone.
