Ellen I use those molds all the time. I put them in the freezer for 30-45 mins before unmolding, helps the soap release easier.

[@cheryl739]

I use Kokum Butter all the time!! I use it instead of Cocoa Butter, when I use it. Some of my customers love it when I use it, because of their dry skin. I hardly feel the difference, but they say they do. I do a Camomile infusion for one of my salves and I agree with the smell. It is very nice. Your soap is going to be awesome for the skin! I have never had any soaping issues with Cocoa Butter Cashmere. It is one of my best seller fragrances. Thanks for bringing us along. Cheers 🤗👍

(Note for those with sensitive skin or eczema) Thank you Ellen for the recipe, and I have a note that I hope will be accepted Please note this in your upcoming videos An increase in the percentage of coconut oil will dry the skin

You're right about too much coconut oil drying sensitive skin but you can decrease the coconut oil in any recipe or up the super fat. Try it either way and let us know how it comes out! We are an eczema family so always trying new things but managing gut health and food allergies has been the biggest help.

Hi Ellen… so I made this soap and followed this recipe except I had to sub in mango and Shea for the Kokum and cupaucau and I ran my fragrance through the calculator. When I unmolded it is semi firm and I cut a couple of small bars to test out and there were droplets of oil inside…. It did seem to trace well and set up very good in the mold. What are some possible reasons that this happened or do I need to let it sit longer before I cut the rest of the loaf? Thanks for any troubleshooting tips you may be able to help with. Thank you!
