Here is a list of frequently used oils and butters used in the Soap Mill at Salem House Provisions.

Apricot Kernal Oil- lightweight and conditioning to the skin. Produces small bubbles in cold process soap

Avocado Oil- thick and rich oil, high in vitamins A, B, D, and E, conditioning for the skin

In addition to oils and butters in Salem Soap Mill products, I use numerous extracts (aloe, chamomile, oat), different clays, and colloidal oats. These ingredients enhance and boost the product's performance and deliver more moisture and healing to your skin.
