creamy lather index

[Rosey]

I've been playing around with the soapcalc and it's a really cool thing but I have a question on the creamy lather index. I'm trying to figure out what a high creamy lather index results in as far as the feel of it. I mean bubble index, I get that but a high creamy lather is beyond me.

Thanks guys for answering all my questions


edit:
oh i found their faq but more input is always great

A creamy lather is much more dense;I just busted out a recipe that was a 40 and I'd equate the consistency of the lather to kind of a shaving cream .. it's just thicker and richer than your normal lather. Some good ingredients to add to help boost creaminess are yogurt, milk products, coconut milk, and stearic acid.

Ditto. Castor oil is wonderful for giving lots of creamy lather.
