Teach Soap

Does the butter that is put in a lotion bar make the bar harder or softer? I made lotion bars using 1 oz olive oil, 1 oz beeswax and 2 oz shea butter. they came out pretty good , but I was wondering if they would be even better if they were a little softer.

It depends on the butter along with the total of all the other ingredients. I live in the desert, so mine are most likely harder.

I make them harder in the summer and softer in the winter. To make them harder or softer I add more or less wax rather than adjusting the butters.
