I've been playing around on soapcalc.net lately.
Is it really true that palm oil has a '1' cleansing value? That's what soapcalc tells me. I've read elsewhere that palm oil is high cleansing like coconut and not a good choice for a moisturizing/sensitive skin bar.
I'm well aware that coconut oil is high cleansing and that's why I don't use it in my sensitive/dry skin soaps.
I am re-designing some of my moisturizing soap recipes and want to make a near '0' cleansing value soap (like a 100% olive soap) but would love if I can include palm to harden up the bar without sacrificing mildness.
I'm' really not a fan of the slimy feel of 100% olive soaps - I've made some and no one wanted them either
