OILS and BUTTERS

CASTOR OIL     INCI = Ricinus Communis (Castor) Seed Oil

Helps to increas lather quite a bit.   Gives a creamy bubbly quality to the soap. 

COCONUT OIL     INCI = Cocos Nucifera (Coconut) Oil

It is a great oil! I get lather, lather, lather with coconut, and no lather without.

PALM OIL     INCI = Elaeis Guineensis (Palm) Oil

This oil is also known as vegetable tallow, it adds firmness to a bar os soap.  Used as a hardner and gives a pale straw color.  Creamy soap with small bubbles.  Palm oil is universal and used in many expensive luxury soaps. 

PALM KERNEL    INCI = Elaeis Guineensis (Palm) Kernel Oil

This oil is commonly used in place of coconut to give the same incredible lather. It makes a very hard bar that is snow white in color.  Commonly used in expensive luxury soaps.  Will help firm a too soft soap recipe.  We often use coconut and palm kernel together and love the results!

OLIVE OIL and BUTTER     INCI = Olea Europaea (Olive) Fruit Oil

Makes the gentlest soap you can make “castile soap”.

SUNFLOWER SEED OIL  (high oleic)         INCI = Helianthus Annuus (Sunflower) Seed Oil

Sunflower oil is light in appearance and supplies more Vitamin E than any other vegetable oil.

SAFFLOWER SEED OIL  (high oleic)         INCI = Carthamus Tinctorius (Safflower) Seed Oil

Safflower Oil is mentioned in ancient Egyptian texts and was used to heal old wounds. It is easily absorbed by the skin due to its high linoleic acid content (80%), has superior skin compatibility, and soothes skin irritations and itchiness. It increases the moisture content of the skin (skin hydration is proportional to the level of linoleic acid in the skin) and is particularly good for sensitive skin.

COCOA BUTTER         INCI = Theobroma Cacao (Cocoa) Seed Butter

The smell and feel of soaps with cocoa butter will make any chocoaholic go crazy.  Will help making your bar soaps harder.  When we don't want the scent we use white oderless cocoa butter.

SHEA BUTTER      INCI = Butyrospermum Parkii (Shea Butter)

Shea butter is also known as African Karite Butter. This is smooth and creamy just like room temperature butter. When added to soaps it gives an exotic feel that is so luxurious once you experience it you may never want to be without it.

MANGO BUTTER      INCI = Mangifera Indica (Mango) Seed Butter

Mango Butter is another exotic oil that has a buttery feel at body temperature.  If you have enjoyed using Shea Butter, you will also like what Mango Butter can do.  

AVOCADO OIL and BUTTER      INCI = Persea Gratissima (Avocado) Oil

Avocado oil is truly exotic. We love it in our gentle baby soap! We often find avocado oil in expensive creams and It is the ultimate indulgence in fine oil blends, creams and lotions.

APRICOT KERNEL OIL       INCI = Prunus Armeniaca (Apricot) Kernel Oil

We hear the praises of apricot kernel oil everyday. People love this hard to find oil.  We have often been told that apricots (and the oil) have been used for many ailments. While there maybe some myth to the claims we do agree the lotions and body care products made with apricot are wonderful to the skin.

COTTONSEED OIL         INCI = Gossypium Herbaceum (Cotton) Seed Oil

Produces a thick and lasting lather, in addition to emollient properties.
