Hi all,
My first attempt at soap making was a 100% coconut oil soap with 20% superfat and I am loving how it turned out - rock hard, lathers nicely, feels nice on the skin, and smells lovely with the EOs I used.
I would like to try some blending of oils to achieve different soaps but I would like to stick to readily available oils (found at the supermarket) and avoid animal fats if possible (although I'd like to try a tallow bar in the future). I also don't want to use Palm Oil (we have some little wildlife warriors in our house) or anything that is unsustainable or questionable in origin.
What are some common oil blends and ratios that give a nice soap bar - cleansing but moisturising at the same time - and doesn't take weeks/months to harden.
TIA
