Castor Oil Profile

By , About.com Guide

Adds Hardness to Bar?:

No...

Creates Fluffy Lather:

No...not really - though it does increase the lather

Creates Stable Lather:

YES! Helps increase lather quite a bit.

Adds Moisturizing Qualities?:

Yes - though thick and sticky straight out of the bottle, it is easily absorbed by the skin.

Other qualities:

Gives a creamy bubbly quality to the soap. There's no other oil quite like it. You only need to use about 4-6% in your recipe to see a difference. Note: Castor oil will speed up your trace.
