I'd add some castor.

Oils which give high fluffy lather are:
pko
coconut
babassu
Those which give high stable lather are:
castor
hazelnut
shea
pumpkin seed
olive
safflower

etc.

SoapMaker has a table of oils with the qualities listed from highest to lowest. If you click on the title of the quality, it will sort the list by that one quality, i.e. stable lather....etc.

I wonder how many people don't know all the many things that SoapMaker can do?!!!

I need to get advertising more, not very good at this.

Honor435: I did a batch with 38% organic PO. It is creamy, but it leaves your skin looking dry; although it didn't feel dry and itchy (if that makes any sense).

 

[honor435]

I made it yesterday, i hope it isnt drying, it got thick really fast after fo added, is that becuase of high po or just the fo, it was vanilla blossom by wsp.

What is High Po??

 

[honor435]

palm oil

It may have been the fo, depending on how much po you used. My batches with 38% did not get thick that fast. It should be a nice hard bar. Did you superfat it at all?

i'm wondering about a high PO bar - i notice a lot of the boutique soaps seem to be composed mainly from PO, and after reading http://www.zensoaps.com/singleoil.htm
which someone posted not long ago, i thought it was very interesting. the PO bar rated very highly.
opinions please.
