Teach Soap

My dad's a Mechanic among other dirty things (hunter, gardener, etc.) I wanted to make him a soap that will really get the grease off.
Any good ideas?
I was thinking 100% coconut oil (I have a lot left ) but would that be too harsh?

Are there any good e-oils for that kind of thing that a man guy would be ok with ?

I'm smiling because my first batch of soap was 100% coconut oil that I poured into little train engine molds. It cleans like crazy, and turned out to be great for hands that need more than regular soap to get clean. I called mine the little engine that could. However, it's definitely not for bathing. A scent my husband and myself are enjoying is a mix of litsea and lemon EOs that I added to a bright lemon salt bar.

I do a coffee scrubby with coffee grounds in, 80 grams to a 5 kg mix. We also have an outdoorsy kind of life, hunting, gardening, animals, trying to keep our old house standing and weathertight! This stuff will remove most everything, scented with hazelnut cappuccino FO.

Beautifully Handcrafted Soap

Hi, I have heard that Fuller's Clay is a good de-greaser. I made a garage/garden soap that contained this clay and also some apricot seeds for exfoliating, I used Ginger/Lime FO from Bramble Berry. It turned out nice and everyone that I gave the soap to, loves it.

I've used dried, powdered orange rinds along with triple strength coffee and orange oil for my mechanic's soap.
