Hello! I somewhat recently used avocado oil in a batch of soap for the first time. The results were nice and moisturizing, but kind of slimy when in use.
The bars have been curing now for 6+ months and although when pressed the bars are firm, they still feel wet on the surface and (as I mentioned) slimy when in use. Do you all think it is the avocado oils that created this effect? Here are the ingredients:
Lavender-Peppermint Soap
avocado oil 5.10 oz
castor oil 1.02 oz
coconut oil 10.88 oz
olive oil 17.00 oz
lye 4.73 oz
liquid (coconut milk) 11.22 oz
1tbsp lav eo
1tbsp peppermint eo
1tbsp ground dried peppermint leaves
1tbsp kaolin clay
Thank you very much for any feedback!
