I want to make some really white soap but want it to be pretty skin friendly. I know that using only hard oils will give me this, however it may also be on the drying and not so conditioning level. I don’t want to steal anyone’s thunder here asking for a recipe but…
what does everyone think of the following percentages?
Lard, pig tallow….50 (I know a lot of people don't like using tallow)
Olive oil………… 20…(I’ve heard that will really light-colored Olive Oil. (Note: usually only the "refined grade A" is light enough color to not impart any o off the green to the soap.)….but I haven’t a clue as to what to look for as to maker, grade, etc…
Coconut oil………. 12
Castor oil……… 12
Palm Kernal O…… 8
These are some of the oils I have on hand so that’s why I’ve mentioned them.
What is everyone’s take on using Titanium Dioxide to make the soap white? I’ve heard that it can give a batch of soap of rather unattractive texture…
