"Can this be used in MP soap making?"

Staff Answer This would be better used in CP or HP soap making. We don't recommend adding this butter to a melt and pour soap base. It will compromise lather, cause separation, and prevent the soap from fully hardening.

"I have noticed that most of WSP Butter Blends are not included on your lye calculator. Please why is that? Does it mean that you do not encourage buyers to use these butter blends in soap making? So they should only be used in body butters, creams and lotions?"

Click Here To View 1 answer(s)

Email Me When This Question Gets Answered

Staff Answer Our butter blends can be used in CP soaping but we cannot edit the ingredients in the lye calculator at this time. If you look at a butter blend and view the following:

Cold & Hot Process Soapmaking Saponification Information:
SAP Value: 175-200
NaOH .132, KOH .186

You can substitute this blend for an oil in the calculator that has identical properties to make your formulation.

Staff Answer Yes, you can substitute our Green Tea Butter for Shea Butter in a lotion formula. I would recommend that you test this substitution in a small batch as it may not be appropriate for all skin types.

Staff Answer Yes you can. However, as this is a straight butter it may be to heavy or greasy for some skin types. I would recommend testing to be sure that you are satisfied with the results.

You can, but it will be too heavy for several skin types. It will also be slow to melt. Consider melting and whipping with another oil.

You can, but it has a slightly smokey, nutty smell that may be off putting to others. Shea butter does not absorb into the skin well. Instead it sits on top. It's a wonderful moisturizer, but because it is so heavy, consider using only a bit in a carrier oil or using it as part of an emulsified butter or lotion recipe.

Yes Cocoa butter is amazing for the skin. It might be hard it is pretty hard. They are hard oils and hard to do anything with unless melted I find once melted once they are slightly easier to use as is.

Sort of like a whipped shortening. It will melt on skin contact, but is much thicker than an oil and is more of a solid at lower temps.
