So I'm currently trying to formulate a recipe using the oils I have. I like the numbers I get in my lye calculator when I add higher amounts of coconut oil, and I have a lot of it to use, but I don't like that I know that coconut oil can be too stripping. Can I just combat this by making my super fat higher? I know that's done with 100% coconut oil soap, so can I just apply that to other recipes with higher percentages of coconut oil? Here's what I have going on:
Can I make this with a superfat of 7% for a more moisturizing bar?
Oil | % |
---|---|
Olive Oil | 42 |
Coconut Oil, 76 deg | 20 |
Shea Butter | 20 |
Castor Oil | 7 |
Cocoa Butter | 6 |
Almond Oil, sweet | 5 |
