So my friend has a coconut allergy (I think it’s only topical) and she can’t use coconut-based products. I was curious about soap, because I know using things like Ginger and Cinnamon EOs is fine in soap because the saponification seems to eliminate a lot of the skin irritating components. Does anyone have any experience with allergen oils being fine once in soap?
Ok so this was a bit preemptive of a post because she just got back to me and says she has to use coconut oil free soap also
I sub Babassu for coconut oil in products. I don’t have an allergy to coconut, but it makes me break out, so I don’t like it in lotions or other leave on products. Try Babassu.
A fellow soaping friend of mine says that she has a client who orders soap from her and requests nut free soap. She said her general recipe for her is:
20-30% lard/tallow/combo
20% palm OR 30% olive
15% shea butter
10% cocoa butter
10% rice bran oil
5% castor oilBut as for allergens and such after the soaping process, unfortunately no. My experience is only someone saying I’m allergic to such and such and make things without them.
