oo oo.....I was hoping someone used it! haha


I SF @ 20%

15% OO

80% CCO

2% Castor Oil

50% salt

Where would I stick my avocado oil?? Delete the castor? Some of the OO?

I used it at 10% and I'm not crazy about it. If I used it again, I would definitely use castor at 5%.

Try:
CO 85%
Avo 10%
Castor 5%

Thanks Obsidian, I will.

I use it instead of Olive oil, I use 5% castor and sometimes 5% shea butter the rest is all CO. I love my salt bars. I superfat at 20% and use 50-75% sea salt.

Think I am going to give it a whirl tomorrow.

Let us know how it goes. Remember to cut while still warm if using a loaf mold.

Shunt, what is your % of Avo??

 

[shunt2011]

Shunt, what is your % of Avo??

I like it at 10%. Hoping to get some made tonight. I made some in individual molds a couple months ago and they have ashed so heavily I can't get it off and they look terrible. Back to my slab mold with dividers. Don't have a problem with that.

Shunt, what is your % of Avo??

So...10% AVO, 5% castor and the rest coconut oil?

 

[shunt2011]

Yes, that is what I generally do. Superfat at 20%.

One of my favorite oils is Avocado. I just made some salt bars tonight with it. Good luck on your bars!

 

[jules92207]

I think shunt was the one who got me hooked on avocado oil - I make most of my salt bars with 80%co 15%ao and 5% castor. They are my favorite.

 

[shunt2011]

I still didn't get my salt bars made...Dang. I did masterbatch 5 gallons of oils and I did get 2 batches of Patchouli, and 1 batch each of Bite Me and Lilac. I also got 100 lip balms made. Maybe tomorrow after my market. I'm down to 6 salt bars....I will not be a happy girl if I run out. I'm so glad you like them with the avocado oil. They are certainly my favorite. I went through my recipes earlier and I do go between 10-15% on them.

 

[jules92207]

Oh no, can't have that! I hoard my salt bars...
