fixed oils

characterized as "fixed" oils due to their stable nature (as opposed to essential oils which are volatile and unstable, evaporating easily), our main soap blend contains olive, coconut, palm, and palm kernel oils.   we "superfat" our soaps with luxury emollient shea butter.
 
fixed oils used in blessed juno soaps:
 
olive oil - the main ingredient in our oil blend, since ancient times olive oil has been valued for use on the skin to clean and moisturize.  olive oil also helps to create a stable lather.
 
palm oil - extracted from the pulp of the fruit of the African palm tree, palm oil helps create a hard and long-lasting bar of soap, as well as contributes to a soap's stable lather.  
 
coconut oil - from the fruit of the coconut tree, coconut oil's main contribution to a bar of soap is voluminous, fluffy lather.  it also helps create a harder bar.
 
palm kernel oil - extracted from the kernel of the fruit of the African palm tree, palm kernel oil contributes to a soap's lathering properties as well as increasing firmness in a bar.
 
shea butter - a luxurious oil from West Africa, shea butter comes from the seeds of the shea tree.  i love making soap with shea butter, because it's wonderful to rub directly on the skin, which is what i do with any left on my hands.
