Guest guest Posted January 29, 2007 Report Share Posted January 29, 2007 I think for a facial bar, I'd replace the Sweet Almond oil perhaps with meadowfoam and/or rosehip oil. It's always fun to experiment, but yep, those two oils can get pricey. Donna S > > I'm wanting to do a facial specific soap.

Guest guest Posted January 29, 2007 Report Share Posted January 29, 2007 It's really an open playing field but a few things should be kept in a certain percentage. Here's my take: > Sweet Almond oil - 30% > Coconut oil - 25% > Apricot kernel oil - 30% > shea butter - 15% Give a Lye discount of 10%. Essential oils keep around 1% for face. Hope this helps, .
