Janis Posted February 17, 2006 Share Posted February 17, 2006 I think it looks lovely. I would probably lower the coconut oil to 5% and up one of the soft oils, just to make it more conditioning. But it will probably be wonderful as is. Let us know how it turns out. It's going to bubble like crazy! :yay:Edited twice because I can't spell tonight!

guppygirl Posted February 17, 2006 Share Posted February 17, 2006 Wow, just 10% on the babassu lady?? I think I was gonna start off with 20%! This is going to be fun figuring out a new recipe... oh & eh-hem, I'd like my babassu now so I can start playing with recipes I just sold out of a few bars and need to make more!

elle110 Posted February 17, 2006 Author Share Posted February 17, 2006 You guys are funny, I made my very first recipe b4 I ever even knew about this board and have always loved it, always had a great hard bar, good lather now when I go to try and figure out a new recipe I decide to put my good old standard in and can't believe it even sells when I compare it to bunnys recipe builder and the sooz etc. Guppygirl- might use more of the Babassu, this recipe not set in stone yet, just mainly playing with # and b4 I went any further needed to know I was in the right direction. Umm...I don't have your Babassu, put your 3# in my 80# batch of soap I made while the baby was sick today LOL J/KSo, now I guess I am going to reformulate my basic recipe as well, not a lot, if it is not broke don't fix it right?Elle Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
