Hi
I'm looking to make an Olive Oil soap and add some Shea butter. I am not going to use any other oils.
What would be a good recipe/ratio. I have seen only recipes that use 4-5 oils and that is not something i'm planning on doing.
is a 9-1 ratio ok Olive-Shea or should i go even lower....
If anyone has a recipe they would like to share i would appreciate it.
Also.....If there is some form of skin cream recipe I would appreciate it.
I don't want to use any form of preservative. I saw a recipe for whipped shea butter.

Does this look ok? Might I be able to add Lavender Oil. Will this stuff not go rancid, etc...?
Here is another:

it appears they use Vitamin E as a preservative but I thought that this did not work well?
I would only make a small amount as a test. Thanks
