Is this soap going to upset sensitive skin?

[fatfacedcharlie]

Hi All

It's been a while since I've done anything soapy or visited the forum, but I've been started soaping again recently and have load of soap I've been giving away to friends and family. It's generally well received, but one friend asked if was ok for sensitive skin and I wondered if anyone could help. Here's the basic recipe:

30% olive oil
30% palm oil
30% coconut oil
10% castor oil

3% sodium lactate
6% lye discount
whatever water soapmaker 3 says.

Any thoughts welcomed

Happy soaping!

I would up the Olive or add in another soft oil or butter and lower the coconut to no more than 18-20% for sensitive skin.

I agree, too much coconut would probably be too drying to sensitive skin.

Aye - olive 40%, palm 35% and CO 15%

You can use that much coconut, just up your superfat to 8-10%

Yep what they said. I use these oils all the time. 40 olive up to 20 CO and 8% SF is staple for me in this super dry climate.
