Shea butter. Shea butter has special moisturizing characteristics and that i make an effort to preserve these characteristics within my hands made soap.

Best Moisturizing Hands Soap Recipe :
25 oz. essential olive oil
10 oz. coconut oil
5 oz. shea butter
I get this to soap just a little differently than my other soaps. I melt the coconut oil and palm oils together. I Then add some essential olive oil. Once the oils and also the lye/water (or lye/milk) slurry are generally at approximately 110 levels, I incorporate the slurry in to the oils. Once the soap reaches very light trace, Then i incorporate the melted shea butter. I love to incorporate the shea butter at this time, wishing that the majority of the shea butter won't interact with the lye and retain it's moisturizing qualities. I understand you may still find plenty of free lye radicals within the soap, but hopefully many of them combined with another base oils.
I don't use any scent within this soap because I love to provide a couple of scent-free soaps. You are able to, however, use any scent you want to within this soap. I usually recommend utilizing a scent that's been a great seller for you personally if you've been selling soap for a long time. I've been very effective keeping this soap scent-free however (which cuts the price of producing the soap in two).
I love to use LIGHT essential olive oil and so i obtain a very light (almost white-colored) color bar of soap. If you are using extra virgin essential olive oil, the bar won't look so white-colored. If you are using pomace oil, the soap have a green look -- you must also consult a lye calculator because you may want to adjust the quantity of essential olive oil if you're substituting pomace.
This recipe will produce 16 - 4 oz. bars of soap. Should you reduce and sometimes boost the recipe size, make sure to make sure your oil and lye amounts having a lye calculator. It always is effective be safe and sound. It's my job to get this to soap inside a large loaf mold which makes 64 bars of soap at any given time.
