Shampoo Bar

armyjung2079 · Dec 19, 2014

Is there any way to make a shampoo bar without Palm oil? I only have palm kernel. I do have olive, avocado, sun flower, castor, a teensy bit of rice bran, coconut 76 and cocoa and shae butter. I'm going to try and pick up jojoba from ulta if they have it.

Nvm they don't have jojoba. Is that a necessity

This is my favorite shampoo recipe, if you don't have neem you can replace it with a liquid oil of your choice just run the new recipe through soapcalc

Here is my last shampoo recipe, it has worked very well for me. (Just to give you an example of some variety in formulas.)
76 deg. Coconut oil at 25%, Lard (Manteca at Walmart) 15%, Cocoa butter 5%, Castor oil 10%, Rice Bran oil 20%, Extra virgin Olive oil 25%. I also used an 18% Lye discount to leave more unsaponified stuff in the bars. Made this last jan. 2014, and bars are still wonderful with no spoilage, so that high discount seems to be OK.

What if I don't have lard lol

Lard is the easiest to obtain

) any store

I just sent my child down and the wife is having a girls night out. I am lardless

armyjung2079 · Dec 19, 2014

Could I add vitamin e to preserve the bars if I do a high super fat? If so how do u use it lol

Dahila · Dec 19, 2014

Not to preserve but to slow down oxidation, of oil

Being lardless is pretty painful :cry:

There is no reason to use a high SF. I have dry hair and only use a 3% SF, any higher and my hair feels greasy.

armyjung2079 · Dec 19, 2014

I haven't used it yet! So ignorance is bliss in this case

armyjung2079 · Dec 19, 2014

Perfect so 5 or 8 would suffice?

Obsidian · Dec 19, 2014

Yes, 5 would be as high as I would go.

Nope. Not any store. I had to search a bit. I avoid Walmart if I can, so haven't checked there, but had to search 3 grocery stores here to find lard.

Now that I know where to find it, it's ok. But it took a while!
