Now, admittedly, I’m the type of soap maker who usually doesn’t deviate much from the “KISS rule” (as in, “Keep It Simple, Sunshine!”), so when I see a soap recipe with this many different fats, it tends to give me a severe case of eye-twitch! Out of the many different recipes and formulations I’ve tried though, this is the one recipe my face has always loved most, and I don’t argue with my face- very often! I formulated this recipe a little over two years ago and just continued to adjust, tweak and expand upon it until I hit that facial soap “sweet spot”! For the base oils themselves, this recipe includes olive oil (for its gentle mildness and moisturizing properties), coconut oil (for cleansing, lather and bar hardness), shea and cocoa butters (for hardness, creaminess, and conditioning), avocado oil (for its nourishing mildness and moisturizing properties), and castor oil (for its humectant properties, as well as its conditioning and lather-boosting qualities).

My hope in sharing the step-by-step process of how this face soap recipe is made is that you’ll either find your own skin responds wonderfully to it, or you’ll find an excellent “foundation recipe” from which to begin customizing your own facial soap recipe from one tailored specifically to what your skin craves most! Just be sure to run the recipe through a lye calculator whenever making any substitutions or changes to the batch oils. Of course, everyone’s skin-type is different and unique to them, so what works wonders for me might not be what works wonders for you, and that’s totally okay! This recipe is extremely adaptable, and any additive, oil and/or butter can be swapped out for anything that your own unique skin-type prefers best. Ugh! What’s a person to do? You could try spending a small fortune on crazy-expensive skincare products, or you could give my face soap recipe a try and see if your skin loves it just as much as mine does!

If only my jawline and hairline would just share some of that natural sebum production with the rest of my face (Instead of turning into pimples!), my face would be in perfect harmony with itself! What’s more, I also frequently experience some pretty major morning eye-puffiness too.

I’ve got that embarrassingly dry “T-Zone”, where dry, flaky skin on the bridge of my nose and brow line make it look like I don’t know how to blow my nose properly (Especially during the winter!), but then I’m oily everywhere else.


When it comes to my face, I’m the typical, yet frustratingly confusing, combination skin-type.
