Shea, 70%

Notes:
I created this recipe to explore the primary properties of Shea butter in a vegan soap. Surprised to find out how well the numbers worked with just a limited percentage of coconut and castor oils added for Lauric and Myristic acid (bubbles and cleansing).

Notes: Testing with English Tea Rose fragrance from Lebermuth (Chemistry Store). The IRFA number show very high safety number for bar soap, so I expect it to be gentle on skin.
