Avocado soap

I'm sure you know how avocado is good for our bodies. So, Imagine it in to a soap... What a marvel !!

Look at this beautiful natural green colour

I decided to make a simple soap with a high amount of avocado oil (25%)

It will be a good soap for very sensitive skin

 

Identity

Saponified oils: Olive, Coco, Avocado oil, Shea butter

Superfats: Cocoa butter  ( 7%)

Essential oils: Geranium, Lavender, Petitgrain, Elemi (3%)

Colour: Natural white/yellow, spinach powder and charcoal for the light green/grey


Results 

I made a faux funnel swirl and I do love the result! With a light trace, it was very easy to do it

The swirl is a little bit to regular, I should have alternated the space between the lays

I'll do it for the next time, I've got an excuse to make an other batch 

  

Avocado oil is a very good skincare. It's rich in oleic acid which is a good moisturiser. It also contains vitamins D, E (good anti oxidant), and A (beta-carotene). This oil has, as jojoba oil and shea butter, a quantity of unsaponifiables (1% to 2%) . That means the benefit components of avocado oil will remain intact into the soap even after the saponification process. That make it healing for skins and therefor, avocado oil is a very good superfatting oil. Rich in sterol, this oil have a healing, soothing and restorative benefits

 Properties of avocado oil    

• regenerating cells

• soothing

The scent is gorgeous! It smells fresh with the Petitgrain essential oil and you've got a hint of pepper on the after smell with the Elemi, really nice! An unusual smell but very enjoyable

The lather is rich and creamy. Avocado oil gives a good lather to soap

But above all, this soap is incredibly soft. It's like washing your skin with cotton! So imagine how soft it is! I really enjoy it. You should try avocado oil in your soap. It's magic...
