Coconut Oil Profile

Adds Hardness to Bar?:

Yes! Makes a nice hard, very white bar of soap!

Creates Fluffy Lather?:

Yes! Big fluffy lightweight bubbles.

Creates Stable Lather?:

No...though it certainly does add to the lather. Use a combination of other oils to make the lather more stable.

Adds Moisturizing Qualities?:

No. Most soap makers warn not to use more than about 30% coconut oil in your recipe or else it will be drying. There is some debate about this - but 30% still makes a super hard fluffy lathering bar! And there are plenty of other moisturizing oils.

Other qualities-:

Coconut oil is the backbone of most soap maker's recipes. Even 10% of the total recipe will improve the lather. A 100% coconut oil soap is the only soap that will lather in salt water.
