Melanie Posted July 27, 2009 Share Posted July 27, 2009 can someone tell me please. I know the basic bar is often coconut, palm kerrnel, olive, but I add crisco and cocoa butter, or shea butter or what ever is in the cubbard. So just how much does it take to actully be able ot call it a day....Avacado bar Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChrisR Posted July 27, 2009 Share Posted July 27, 2009 My avocado bar has 42% avocado oil. I would say the biggest majority of your oils should be avocado to call it such. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WendyByTheBay Posted July 28, 2009 Share Posted July 28, 2009 Just out of curiosity, is there much difference between a regular bar of CP and an avocado one? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Melanie Posted July 28, 2009 Author Share Posted July 28, 2009 I met a soap maker at work who says she makes avacado soap and her spa lady said it seems to have made a difference in the pores in her face. I really dont know after two years I am still pretty much a rookie and working on things. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CareBear Posted July 28, 2009 Share Posted July 28, 2009 there is no rule, so that soap could have had between a ton and almost none... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Carrie Posted July 28, 2009 Share Posted July 28, 2009 Go to the store and look at shea butter lotion. Shea is usually one of the last ingredients. They call it that because it has some (even in tiny amounts) shea in it. The same could go for soap. Do I like that kind of advertising, NO!

LuminousBoutique Posted July 29, 2009 Share Posted July 29, 2009 Heres the avocado recipe I use:48 oz water471 g Sodium H48 oz Avacado16 oz Olive40 oz Coconut Oil24 oz Palmand 2 tbsp Avacado added in at trace. 45 g essential oils. Avacado Oil is only around 37% of the oils, so just over 1/3... but IMO its enough to call it an "Avacado bar". its a well balanced recipe that works well and people seem to love it. Any more avacado oil and I think it would lose some of its harness and longevity. I havent really messed with it though.... why fix what isnt broken!
