AshiePoo Posted September 17, 2007 Share Posted September 17, 2007 My sister is in Lakeland FL and she buys "butter bars" there. She absolutely loves them! Anyone ever made a butter bar? I have been searching for a recipe with no luck. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Angel91805 Posted September 17, 2007 Share Posted September 17, 2007 Is it a soap or a lotion bar?Could you get her to read the list of ingredients to you? I know there are several here that make soaps with the butters up in the 40% range...... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MarieJeanette Posted September 17, 2007 Share Posted September 17, 2007 Is it possible to find out the ingredients from your sister? I've never heard of them myself, but it could be just as simple as making a regular CP recipe with some cocoa butter or mango butter or shea butter, etc. in it.MarieJeanette Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jbren Posted September 17, 2007 Share Posted September 17, 2007 sounds like a lotion bar to me also. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AshiePoo Posted September 17, 2007 Author Share Posted September 17, 2007 It's soap-here are the ingredients on her label...olive, palm kernal, palm, castor, coconut, and shea and cocoa butters Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CareBear Posted September 17, 2007 Share Posted September 17, 2007 name itself is just a marketing thing. It does sound like a nice blend but not a unique one. Lots of us soap with those ingredients. If you describe exactly what it is like when she uses it we might be able to help you come up with a recipe. Also if it's scented that will affect how she feels about it.

AshiePoo Posted September 18, 2007 Author Share Posted September 18, 2007 I would LOVE some help coming up with a recipe!Here is my sis's description... The bar is much softer than the one you made. Yours is more glycerine-like to me. This one came with strict instructions to keep it on a slatted (draining) soap dish so that you wouldn’t lose most of it due to it sitting in the water. It lathers well and has more soap film in the tub when you’re done. I would call it creamy. This is the recipe I used to send her, it was my first batch- 2 oz canola4 oz coconut4 oz palm2 oz soy oil4 oz lard I did a 50:50 water discount. I don't care for it, too drying I thought. Here are the ingredients her bar had again.. olive, palm kermal, palm, castor, coconut, shea and cocoa butters Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CareBear Posted September 18, 2007 Share Posted September 18, 2007 It was soft, hunh?Assuming her ingredients were listed in order of amount, maybe try this:35% olive oil20% palm kernel15% palm10% castor 10% coconut5% shea butter5% cocoa butteror maybe take a chance and up the castor to 15 and drop the OO to 30. Castor can make the bar softer, maybe even sticky, but this change will up the lather (creamy and bubbly). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
