Olive is my favourite conditioning oil, then Avocado & Shea Butter as they
both have unsaponifiables (will naturally increase the superfat) ..
Sunflower & Canola are great too, but you can't use too much or they make a
soft bar, and they have a short shelf life .. Using Goats Milk for part or
all of the liquid works wonders too ..
The other thing to keep in mind is that formulating for a lower cleansing
value your soap won't strip off all the skins natural oils off to that
squeaky clean/tight stage to begin with .. So I keep Coconut Oil low and use
Castor to increase my bubbles instead ..
There's a lot of good info on the various commonly used soaping oils that
may be helpful here:

Ok. Just thought I would ask and see if it can be used in soap making to
perhaps make the soap not so drying.

Why do you want to add Vit E oil to soap Pauline? A well formulated bar
shouldn't have issues with rancidity (DOS), and I think the Vit E would be
of better value saved for lotions and creams, scrubs etc ..

At what stage of making soap would you add Vitamin E oil and would it have
to be calculated in with the other oil so I can get the lye correct? Would
3%-5% be enough for a batch of soap?
