If you want to crack on without the soy wax then here is a recipe that I used to use. It is expensive with all that butter but it has a lower cleansing value for sensitive skin. Don't worry about the low bubble value, once you add one of the suggested sugary options (I enjoy aloe vera powder, sorbitol, honey or beer) you should get a nice fluffy lather. Its a 1 lb test batch size and I've lowered the water:lye ratio as I find this reduces soda ash. It's only through trial and error that you will find what suits your family needs. For example, I can't tolerate high coconut or any olive oil (makes my skin itchy) so I substitute olive oil for high oleic sunflower oil. Have fun, make small batches until you find what works for your skin! If you try this recipe just go easy on the stick blender as i find cocoa butter traces quite quickly!
