KJohnson Posted April 8, 2006 Share Posted April 8, 2006 Some how I have LOST my original CP recipe...can not find it any where...It was Olive oil, coconut oil, PKO, Palm and castor....It was a great bar....So I am trying to make a new recipe..I just got some Babassu from the COOP and not real sure how to use it. Does it replace the castor??If so this is the recipe I am hoping will be a great hard bar..yet lathering and bubbly..but also moisturizing...Babassu 5%Coconut 20%Olive 40%Palm 20%PKO 10%Shea 5%Any suggestions?? Thanks! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jwahlton Posted April 8, 2006 Share Posted April 8, 2006 Babassu 5%Coconut 20%Olive 40%Palm 20%PKO 10%Shea 5%Actually that looks like a great recipe to me. Babassu will give it nice bubbles. The only thing is you may want to lower the coconut a bit and up the PKO do compensate. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Carrie Posted April 8, 2006 Share Posted April 8, 2006 When I got my babassu, I replaced 5% of the coconut with it. Love love love it. I kept the castor in the recipe. I've always used castor so don't know what my soap is like without it...LOL Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
