Hello, I wanted to make some soap for a family member's b'day but she has very dry skin and would need something very moisturising. Is there anything I can add to the soap that is cheap but will help moisturise her skin? Thanks x

Not cheap, but you can add up to 1 Tablespoon of shea or mango butter to 1 lb. of MP soap base.

Will these give the soap a scent too? For example, if I add mango butter, will the soap smell of mangoes? Thanks for the tip x

Nope. Cocoa butter adds a sweet smell to the soap, but none of the butters really smell like the fruit from which they are harvested. You can use fragrance oils or essential oils to add scent to your soaps. :mrgreen:

Instead of trying to make your soap more moisturizing, which is really hard to do in Melt and Pour soap, maybe a solid lotion or whipped butter might be better for her.

Anne-Marie has a lot of recipes like those here http://www.soapqueen.com/category/bath- ... ls/lotion/

I have been adding a little coconut oil to mine and it is incredible. People love it and my soaps are super lathering! Haven't noticed a smell difference either. I even noticed a difference as my skin feels softer :)
