Hi everyone,
I would be interested to make a solid oil massage bar.
(Editing the post: in the meantime, I realized that these bars may be called "lotion bars" ? There is quite a lot of information about these here.... )
I think I would use CO, Cocoa, Shea and a wax, and I saw some people add some corn starch but I'm not sure why.
What do you think ? Which proportions would you opt for ?
It may be a silly question, but are the oils saponified ? Probably not ? I was going to ask the following question:
"If I want to use, say, a rice bran wax, would I click on "rice bran oil" in soap calc ?"
...which will be irrelevant if there is no saponification process...
Thanks !
