I was thinking maybe my skin doesn't like coconut oil? I read that people had a similar feeling after using soap that had coconut oil in it. They swapped it for Babassu. I will look into adding cocoa butter into my recipe. I never considered using palm or lard. I've seen a few people say they are heavily against using it. Is it ok if i comment back on this thread in the future? Or would it be better to create a new topic? Thank you for all your help (:

Hey everyone! I'm working on formulating my own cp soap recipe. I made a batch about 6 weeks ago and i felt like it could be more moisturizing and bubble more. After rinsing, i tried rubbing my hand up and down my arm and it was getting stuck a little bit. Please let me know your thoughts. Thank you in advance (: Here is the soap calc numbers from my original recipe i made 6 weeks ago : Hardness - 33 Cleansing - 10 Conditioning - 64 Bubbly - 10 Creamy - 22 Iodine - 74 INS - 124 Here is the new recipe i made in soap calc : Hardness - 32 Cleansing - 11 Condoning - 66 Bubbly - 20 Creamy - 30 Iodine - 74 INS - 120
