So messing about in my head with a CP recipe for a friend who works in a high risk field. He wants a highly cleansing bar (Can tell he thinks more thick stable bubbles equals cleaning power), but not stripping to his ash prone black skin. On a regular basis he takes 2 showers a day on work days, because during regular times he says he wants to wash away the germs/dirt/residue from work. He loves coconut and dragon's blood (the classic renaissance festival incense one with heavy patchouli, which when I was getting FOs last time I picked up a dragon's blood and patchouli specifically with him in mind from Nature's Garden.) I fully understand that this will take awhile to cure and I am not against HP, but in my experience it takes a similar cure time. I have never messed with the technique of adding glycerin to be able to work with a water discount in HP so this isn't the time to contemplate that now lol.
I am thinking:
30% olive oil
30% Coconut oil
20% Palm oil
10% Caster oil
10% Shea oil
1100g oils
5% super fat
And add about 30g (aprox 2TBSP) of coconut cream, which would increase superfatting a tiny bit and introduce sugars which will increase bubbling. Or I could just add sugar to add to the bubble bump. Heck I may run 2 batches one plain and one scented, so he can have the plain to wash before work and/or his hands and second scented to relax after work.
Since it's a recipe I haven't used I am second guessing myself. Just incase something would be better I have olive oil, coconut oil, palm oil, caster oil, sweet almond oil, canola oil, unrefined shea butter. I also have lard and unflavored crisco, which I don't use in my soap, but I have at my disposal. (Editing to add: I also have citric acid, glycerin, and slsa, since my kid is highly into making bathbombs, slime and things of that nature.) Any thoughts are welcome.
