Lisa from Feto Soap (www.fetosoap.com) has created a lovely bar of Wild Sasparilla Shaving Soap.
Lisa says “This soap was born while being filmed on In Context – but it’s been in my head for months now.
Ingredients: water, palm oil, olive oil, coconut oil, castor oil, sodium hydroxide, stearic acid (from palm oil), fragrance and brown oxide.”
Kudos to Lisa for such a beautiful swirled batch!
I love swirly soap. Great job!!
There is castor oil in the top recipe. Lisa might just have been reading and writing the recipe too quickly when she posted to add the Kaolin Clay addition. =)
Castor Oil and Kaolin Clay are great for adding slip (the clay) and then the supporting lather (castor oil).
That is lovely! I bet it smells wonderfull! Mmmmm.
No castor? Doesn’t that stabilize the lather for shaving?
I made a test batch for my father and he didn’t like it, as the lather collapsed too quickly compared to other shaving soaps he has used.
amended ingredient listing:
Ingredients: water, palm oil, olive oil, coconut oil, sodium hydroxide, stearic acid (from palm oil), fragrance, white kaolin clay, and brown oxide.
(glad I caught that!)
awee, thanks!
Now that is some really beau-ti-ful soap!
