    Soap already drying, why make it more drying?

    I also believe with the addition of too high lauric and myristic fatty acid along with too much stearic acid can exaggerate this feeling with hard water. I do like the feel of high olive oil soaps in terms of the slippery lather but the after feel is still there (Drag , grippy feel) but once...

    I totally agree with what your saying, However the single oil soaps were soap at a 0% super-fat and not negative and because my lye is not 100% pure 97-100% I count that as a super-fat instead of adding and addition which is why I stated the super-fat can range anywhere from 2%-3%. The sodium...

    Soap already drying, why make it more drying?

    It's not really an issue of too drying or skin is itchy. It's more of an after feel the soap gives the skin. When gliding my fingers across my skin after a shower, it doesn't move smoothly, it's more of a resistance. But I've come to understand that it may just be my hard water that is...

    Wow! I think its just the nature of handmade soaps for me personally, due to the fact that I have been pounding at numbers an fatty acids for sometime now and its just not what I was hoping for. It's a bit depressing, never the less I have gotten some good pointers and will definitely be...

    awesome thank you for patience and help. it is definitely appreciated The draggy/ squeaky clean feel comes from rinsing the soap off and drying, but once the skin is completely dry, lets say after 1 minute or so it begins to feel soft /normal. But the draggy /squeaky clean is not pleasant...

    Soap already drying, why make it more drying?

    yeah am starting to believe that syndets may be a better option for my water type. I would love an all natural bar but a functional one that works for my water type and skin. I will keep trying and see what I can come up with. I am almost 3 years off and on trying to get a hang of this soap...

    To describe the drying feel I get, it is more of a squeaky clean that is not smooth when drying right after a wash. It feels like my hands are dragging and gripping as I rub my skin. My partner and 3 other family members have all reported back with the seem experience. I've also notice...

    Hello everyone. I have done some single oil testing. Sweet almond , coconut, castor, shea butter, mango butter, cocoa butter, apricot kernel oil and olive oil. All of these oils were 0% super-fatted. During my experiment in trying to find a non-drying soap, I've notice that they all...
