 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 (:

The first recipe from 6 weeks ago :

Olive Oil - 30%

Rice Bran Oil - 25%

Coconut Oil - 15%

Shea Butter - 15%

Avocado Oil - 10%

Sweet Almond Oil - 5%

The updated recipe i have yet to try:

Olive Oil - 30%

Rice Bran Oil - 20%

Babassu Oil - 15%

Shea Butter - 15%

Castor Oil 10%

Avocado Oil - 10%

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 (:
