Avocado soap with cream gentle peeling

In this recipe I wanted to try to add a fruit to my soap.

Avocado contains 1030% oils[1] and belongs together with

olives to fruits with the highest content of fat [2,3]. SIGN UP for my newsletter, and

I also wanted to make this avocado soap gentle peeling, and at the same time very creamy and moisturizing.

That is why i used 25% cream, mixed with the whey I had from my homemade cheese instead of water!

For the gentle peeling part I used the avocado seed thats right, in this recipe, almost everything is used!

This soap is also a nice example of the effect of gel phase on soap color and how it can negatively affect the soap

12 Despite the fact that the mold was not insulated, the soap did pass the gel phase except for the two I
poured in the singlesoap molds these started to gel on the side where they touched the big mold but not on
the other side.

The soap had finally two different colors the gelled and nongelled see the first picture, soap on the
left and the picture below.

I like the soap so much that I did a second batch of it recently. It is everyhting I wanted gentle, mild
peeling, moisturizing!

soap was a big seller. I also used 15% avocado oil and scented it with rose geranium, rosewood, patchouli
and sandalwood essential oils. I charged extra for this soap and it still sold well.

Thank you Jenny for your feedback. I like your combination of scents, I might try it in my next
avocado soap I have purchased some new mimosa fragrance oil, but I find it too different
from what I had the first time, so I search for something else, will give it a try. Do you have a
webpage?

#3 written by Leslie 1 YEAR AGO

Your recipe was very informative and easy to follow. I love avocado its probably one of my favorite things
to eat and use on my skin. I cant wait to try your recipe and thank you for sharing.

#4 written by evik 1 YEAR AGO

Hi Leslie, thanks, let me know how you like it.

#5 written by orly 1 YEAR AGO

Hi, great recipes!

Did you use palm kernel oil or regular palm oil?
And generally is there a difference in quantities when using one or the other?
Thank you!

#6 written by evik 1 YEAR AGO

Hi Orly. I used palm oil. Palm kernel oil is a different type of oil as to the composition of fatty
acids and the SAP value as well. It is closer to coconut oil. Therefore never use palm kernel oil as
a substitution for palm oil! Hope this helps Soap well! Evik

#7 written by Anamaria 10 MONTHS AGO

Hi Evik, I wonder why you use corn oil in this particular recipe, could I use another oil instead? Or does it
change the quality of the soap?

#8 written by evik 10 MONTHS AGO

Hi Anamaria,

I used corn oil mainly because it makes a nice lather see my big test of one oil soaps. I believe
if you use any other liquid oil, it should be fine, there is still cream, palm oil and coconut oil to
make nice foam. Just do not forget to recalculate the amount of NaOH.

#9 written by Katerina 4 MONTHS AGO

Hi Evic!
Thanks for sharing this wonderful recipe!
I tried to make it twice but the resaults was, well kinda odd! The 1st time I used distrilled water instead of
cream and whey and the second I used water and cream.
The avocado pulp I used was 200gr and the resaultwell not good.I got both times a very oily maze that
became soap but it was full of oilany idea of what it may went wrong?
Thank you in advance!

Hi Lupe, sorry for not being clear I meant diary milk cream, 25% fat concentration. Hope this
helps.
