Coconut oil is the most common way. However, it is also drying/stripping in large amounts as that’s what a high cleansing rate does. A soap with a cleansing number of 0 will still clean, since the way soap works is it grabs ‘dirt’ even with a cleansing number of 0. I use coconut oil in my laundry soap, with a superfat of 0 to get a high cleansing number, but I’d never use it as a shower soap for example.
