Hello,
I have been trying to create a CP shave soap and have made some progress, but am looking for some help. I was previously using stearic acid, but my batter would seize immediately when I would add my lye. I switched to soy wax to prevent that issue (which worked, I am able to make this CP) but my soap is feels a little drying, and the lacker isn't as thick as I would like. Any advice?
My recipe:
Soy wax 50%
Kokum butter 15%
Cocoa butter 10%
Coconut oil 10%
Castor oil 10%
Shea butter 5%
How can I adjust this so that I can increase the rich and creaminess of the lather and make it feel more conditioning.
I tried this recently:
Soy wax 40%
Kokum butter 15%
Stearic acid 10%
Mango butter 10%
Coconut oil 10%
Castor oil 10%
Shea butter 5%
French green clay 15 grams
But this recipe seized too quickly so it will not work for me.
Thanks!
