How do you make soap more creamy?

Adding or increasing oils that support lather, like almond oil, lard, tallow, cocoa butter, palm oil, shea butter, or sunflower oil. Decreasing oils that do not contribute a lot to lather (or hinder it), like olive oil.

How do you make moisturizing soap without lye?

The main way that you can make soap without handling lye is by using melt-and-pour soap.

All you do with it is melt it, add your scent, color, and other additives, then pour it into molds.

How do you make melt and pour soap moisturizing?

Honey Melt and Pour Soap Base If you have a good soap base that isn’t too soft already (for example, I wouldn’t recommend trying it with shea butter), you can make honey-infused soap yourself simply by adding honey (I tend to prefer set honey rather than runny honey, as it helps to keep the soap firmer).

What ingredient makes soap creamy?

Castor oil has a fatty acid makeup that’s completely unique—which makes what it contributes to your soap (the rich, creamy lather) unique. Castor oil will speed up the rate at which your soap will get to trace – so we usually leave it out of recipes that require complex swirls or designs.

What does cocoa butter do in soap?

In cold process soap, cocoa butter adds firmness and moisture to the bar. We recommend using cocoa butter at 15\% or less; any higher may lead to cracking in the final product. Both palm-free recipes, the Queen of Hearts and Layered Lilac Loofah Cold Process soaps contain cocoa butter to give the bars hardness.

Can you use baking soda instead of lye to make soap?

It is certainly possible to make an acceptable cold process soap using baking soda or washing soda, but lather performance suffers compared to the same soap formula without them.
