Hello everyone.
I have done some single oil testing. Sweet almond , coconut, castor, shea butter, mango butter, cocoa butter, apricot kernel oil and olive oil. All of these oils were 0% super-fatted.
During my experiment in trying to find a non-drying soap, I've notice that they all clean very well . The only noticeable difference was the lather and hardness.
Some lathered well while others didn't or was minimal.
My question is, if these oils and butters once interact with the lye turn into soap, what is the purpose of adding more stripping oil high in lauric and myristic acids?
As I have stated I've notice some oils lather really well and could not tell the difference between these single oil soaps that were 0% super-fatted interms of after feel and soaps that I have formulated with 60% olive oil, 20% coconut oil, 20% palm oil superfatted at 7%.
Is there something I am missing here?
Thank you in advance for your time
