Hi Karen,
Thank you so much for figuring those numbers out for Sarah – that was very kind of you!
I’ll add the numbers to the post in just a few. I appreciate it! :)

Hi Sarah! I often use babassu to replace coconut oil, but it can make a great stand-in for a portion of palm oil in a recipe too. This soap has a mild, creamy lather that feels nice on the skin. It’s not drying but also not super moisturizing, so I’d say it’s good for normal to oily skin. If your skin is really dry, you could notch the coconut oil down a few ounces and replace it with a moisturizing oil (like avocado) and/or superfat it higher than 5%. (Running changes through a lye calculator.)
