What do I add to your raw shea butter to make my own soap?
February 21, 2013
I am interested in your shea butter to make soap in different shapes to sell in my store. Besides fragrance, do I have to add anything else. I have made some in the past with some molds I have, but have not worked with raw shea butter. Please advise. I am interested in 55 lbs to start.
Hi Donna,
A good soap base starts with palm oil, coconut oil and olive oil. Exotic oils like shea butter might be 10% or less of the total oils used. We also sell shea butter in 20lb and 4lb sizes to get you going.
Best!
