Q: I am looking for cold process natural dog soap recipe that will be good for dry skin. Can you help? I have searched the internet, and cannot find one.

A: I would try something like this:

25% Coconut Oil
20% Palm Oil
40% Olive Oil
5% Jojoba Oil
10% Shea Butter

5% superfat recommended

Depending on the size of your batch, quantities of water and lye will vary. Consult the Lye Calculator to help determine quantities.

Most dog recipes that I’ve seen tend to also have Litsea or Lemongrass EO in them, as well as a wee bit of Tea Tree Essential Oil for its antibacterial properties.
