Carrie Posted February 12, 2006 Share Posted February 12, 2006 I want to formulate a new recipe but I'm looking to see what everyone's favorite oil is. Just a single most favorite and why. Lard, babassu whatever. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Janis Posted February 12, 2006 Share Posted February 12, 2006 I guess my favorite oil is rbo. When I started soaping, I used olive oil exclusively as my base oil. I was looking for an oil that would work with my skin, and rbo has lots of linoleic acid in it, so I made the switch and have never turned back. If I can add a second oil, it would be avocado. It just give soap such a nice feel. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sara Posted February 12, 2006 Share Posted February 12, 2006 Love the OO, but not a big fan of the slime. Next best to it would be RBO for me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

eugenia Posted February 13, 2006 Share Posted February 13, 2006 Can I pick 2 LOL? Castor and Babassu. Love the bubbles! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Grumpy Girl Posted February 13, 2006 Share Posted February 13, 2006 Mine's the same as e's. I won't formulate a soap recipe without including babassu and castor. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brenda Posted February 13, 2006 Share Posted February 13, 2006 I love castor. Now I have to investigate the babassu! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marisa Posted February 13, 2006 Share Posted February 13, 2006 Castor & Shea Oil Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
michelleB Posted February 13, 2006 Share Posted February 13, 2006 Castor for me! It's in every recipe. But like Brenda said, now I'll have to check out the Babassu to see how it does. (like I NEED something else to have to stock up on around here! lol) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wonderfullywicked Posted February 13, 2006 Share Posted February 13, 2006 I love my oinker soap. It is the whitest of all my oils, making coloring easier (imo). I tried rendering my own tallow and it is slightly yellow. Next time I will try rendering it in a different way. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
donna4909 Posted February 13, 2006 Share Posted February 13, 2006 Lard and castor are my favorites.Lard makes a nice firm bar of soap, and castor is awesome for bubbles. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Carrie Posted February 13, 2006 Author Share Posted February 13, 2006 Well, I went ahead and made a new recipe with e's help. I used RBO, lard, coconut, PKO, babassu and castor. I used lavender eo and lavender fields color from MMS. I was kinda in a hurry when I made it and forgot the EO so had to remove it from the mold and add the eo and re-mold. Good thing it was in the Kelsei, any other mold might have been more ugly. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
