PKO vs CO

I use coconut and pko in the same recipe all the time. I have found that babassu can be even more drying to my skin than coconut oil is in higher %'s. That could just be me, or the combination of oils, not sure. I have found though that when I add olive oil to my basic recipe that has a high percent of coconut, it drys my skin out more than the same recipe minus the OO in it does.

^^ This still holds true for me. It's also why I keep my OO to about or less than 15% - any more than that with my % of CO and my skin gets so dry and flaky I feel like I'm going to itch sores on myself. BLECH

 

And I have also found that a bar with just CO or just PKO in combination with my other oils, and not both in the same bar, lacks depth. The combo of the 2 just compliment each other so well, that after every experiment of using just one or the other, I always come back to using the both in my recipe.
