leaving out coconut oil?

[chris21908]

i usually make soap with lard, castor oil, olive oil and coconut oil. i was just curious how the soap would turn out of i didn't include any coconut oil. has anyone ever tried this??

start off by doing a recipe with soapcalc.net etc to make something that makes you happy. i have done a OO and Lard and Castor before and i liked it. it was not as bubbly as one with CO but i am happy with how it treated my skin.

really surprised this topic hasn't received more love

i'll stir things up for ya
COCONUT OIL IS OVER RATED! <imho>

in my limited experience: the lather is light,airy,thin. i love the dense,creamy, stable lather of beef tallow at 20-30% combined with lard or palm + olive.
i haven't use PKO ........................yet

I've made very nice goat milk soap with just lard and olive oil. Castor would add bubbles. Try it. :wink:
