Never had a problem with using shea, or cocoa butter. I only use one oz of each in my recipes and use only organic oils. Perhaps it's the quality of the oils you're using.

I use a mixture of olive, coconut, crisco, palm, shea butter and cocoa butter for a fantastic soap that never dries the skin. I also add a tiny bit of bees wax so the soap doesn't get mushy. Been using the same recipe for 25 years. I've tried other recipes but always come back to my basic one...

I only use tissue paper and a label for my soap. This way the scent is always present so it can be smelled easily and no shrink wrap issues.
