@Zany_in_CO How good is the soap?? Is it moisturizing??

My modified recipe: Olive oil pomace - 75% Shea butter - 10% Castor oil - 6% Cocoa butter - 5% Coconut oil - 4% Superfat - 5% I'll substitute my water part with frozen homemade coconut milk... I'm 30 years old and Coconut oil with more than 17% is very drying for me, so I feel it'll be more...

@Arimara Actually I've not heard of any of my friends or relatives having Ezcema but it may exist here...I'm already using store bought coconut cleansers(made for 0 to 5 years) for my newborn as well as my toddler. They are fine with that.. Moreover I don't use any lotions for them. I just apply...

@Dawni I read few pages in the thread. Though Zany has suggested that it could be used for babies I couldn't find any other reviews on how the recipe will be just fine for a baby..I'll make a small test batch to try it with a modified recipe... 87% pomace, castor 8%, Shea butter 5% or increase...

Thank you so much..

Please do post if you find it..I'll search too..Thank you for your support..

This is the next batch that I'm gonna try after zany's no slime recipe then comes your triple rice soap..I have a long list :)

@Dawni, No...I've just started soap making for my personal use but now I'm so much interested in starting my own business.. Actually I've started experimenting few months back and I'm working on my recipe. I hope everything goes well. SMF is such a wonderful source for people like me. Reading...

@Zany_in_CO Thank you so much for your immediate response. I'm super excited to try the recipe this weekend. Kindly bare with me as I have few more questions. Won't 10 percent coconut oil be drying for toddlers?? How long should I cure this soap?? Other than the slimy feel, will there be any...

@Zany_in_CO Thank you so much for your wonderful recipe. I would like to replace the water part with home made coconut milk. I'll add salt to it as you've said and modify this recipe with 87% pomace, castor 8%, Shea butter 5%?? I'm afraid to use coconut oil and 0 percent superfat as I'm gonna...

@Megan could you please tell me how much % of olive and rice bran you use together??

Hi, I'm planning to make a mild baby soap. Please do suggest if this recipe would be fine?? Olive oil pomace - 80% Castor oil - 8% Shea butter - 7% Cocoa butter - 5% Superfat - 7% or 8% Cure time of almost 3 to 6 months is better I guess. Which EO can be added?? Many suggested Lavender EO in...

@Milashka, how long did you cure the soap??

Thank you so much for your reply @IrishLass. Since I don't have goat milk, I'll substitute coconut milk and use fresh aloevera juice as I have aloevera plants at home:). I usually add salt to distilled water before adding lye to increase the hardness of the bar. How can I add it here as we are...

I've searched for unrefined RBO already but as you said, I couldn't find it. I'll try your recipe with a normal RBO available in stores.. I really don't know how many people soap with cold pressed oils without any issues like rancidity or DOS. I'll search the forum..

Yah I spoke to them but they said we test all our products before packing etc and etc. I didn't want to argue with them so just left it. I've already purchased olive oil and butters before and had no issues. As the oil was unrefined, I think it would have got spoilt. I'm out of station now...

Thank you so much for this recipe @Dawni. I live in Tamilnadu and made a batch of Bastille soap with 90% olive oil, 5% of coconut and castor each. I bought the cold pressed olive oil from LimeArt, Coimbatore. While unmoulding the soap after 3 days, the soap smelled very bad and it was fully...

Hi..Are you from India?? If so what brand of olive oil do you use?? I want to make some soaps for my kids but it's really confusing to choose a trusted olive oil brand.
