Shea Butter Soap Formulation (Recipe)

Submitted By:

Cheryl of Tucson, AZ

Summary:

Wonderful and moisturizing soap bar

Ingredients:

4.8 oz olive oil
4.8 oz coconut oil
3.2 oz shea butter
3.2 oz palm oil
6oz distilled water
2.2oz of lye
.8oz essential oil

Instructions:

Follow your basic soap recipe. I melt the Shea Butter in the microwave for about 20 seconds or so it doesn't take long. and I add it along with the other oils.

This recipe will produce 4-6 bars depending on the size of your molds. I think these bars are simliar to the lquid soap they sell at bath and body works that has the shea butter in it.
