Karen B Posted July 23, 2006 Share Posted July 23, 2006 None of the above. :undecidedUm eugenia I really don't mean to 2nd guess you since I'm a newbie, but babassu is a cleansing oil like coconut oil & I thought was more like coconut oil than PKO? I know it would be a really expensive bar of soap but couldn't she use that? (she'd have to run it threw a calculator too) Karen B (who is going to quietly hide in a corner now) :tiptoe: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Karen, don't hide, I answered to quickly! Babassu is actually a bit more cleansing than coconut (70% as opposed to 67%) and a lot more expensive. I love Babassu and use 5% in every batch.

ChrisR Posted July 23, 2006 Share Posted July 23, 2006 Actually you absolutely can sub the babassu for the coconut.....it will also make a great, hard, bubbly bar!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CareBear Posted July 23, 2006 Share Posted July 23, 2006 But not an economical sub! I can't believe how fast I go through the coconut oil! Guess I'm not alone! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Karen B Posted July 23, 2006 Share Posted July 23, 2006 Karen, don't hide, I answered to quickly! (wiping sweat from brow) I didn't want to 2nd guess you there because obviously you have WAY more experience & knowledge than I do. But I did think maybe you just missed that oil. I actually love that oil too, I tried one batch where all my cleansing oil was just the babassu. (don't remember the % off hand) I have that batch of soap hidden from my family. thanks,Karen B Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eugenia Posted July 23, 2006 Share Posted July 23, 2006 I've been soaping for 3.5 years but just picked up on Babassu about 6 months ago. Love that stuff. I knew it was a bubbler and never checked the properties. My error; assumed it was like castor which I love at 5% as well.e Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
