I searched but couldn't find any info on this.  In reading about all the butters out there that can be used to make cold process soap, I find that many of the specialized butters, like Avocado, Aloe, Calendula, etc., are mostly Soy Butter (up to 97%).  Avocado butter, for example, appears to just be Soy Butter mixed with Avocado oil.  And the difference in price is substantial in some cases.  I'm wondering if it is worth it to buy the specialized butters? I was thinking I could just use basic Soy Butter and then add one of the oils (like avocado) which would achieve the same result as using the more expensive Avocado Butter.  What do you think?  I'm not referring to a discussion of other butters like Mango or Cocoa, because they do not have added Soy Butter - so only the ones that you can buy that have a Soy Butter base with added oils that they then label as Avocado Butter, or Aloe Butter, or Macadamia Nut Butter, etc..
