Coconut is used in soap because of its hardness and moisturizing nature. It helps to make soap hard.
Coconut oil, water, vegetable glycerin, and natural fragrances. These are the typical ingredients for Kirks Original Coco Castile coconut soap. You can find tutorials on Youtube on how to make your own coconut soap.
If you add more olive oil and less coconut oil you will reduce the lather of the soap as well as soften the bar http://www.genuinesoaps.com
The most abundant soap made from coconut oil is sodium cocoate, which has the chemical formula C57H110O6Na.
Well there is no simple answer to this question. Coconut oil and palm oil are the best base oils, but its all about the total package or context.
The only option I can find is an all natural olive oil soap bar. Kiss my Face has some.
It adds hardness and cleansing and bubbles to soap. However, like coconut oil (which it can replace or be replaced by) it can be drying on some skin types if not balanced by other oils or a higher superfat.
Yes, dish soap often contains oils such as coconut oil or palm oil to help remove grease and oily residues from dishes. These oils help to break down and remove oil-based stains effectively.
I am a layman, and took Chemistry course over 40 years ago, so this answer will be temporary until a Chemist can improve it. I suspect that in the first test tube [oil and water only] that there probably will be a partial break-up of the oil and some mixing into the water, but this will be temporary until the oil seperates, floats to the surface, and partially recombines. In the case of the second test tube [oil, water, and soap] that the soap will reduce the surface tension of the oil, allowing it to break up into smaller particles, and possibly form a stable, or at least simi-stable emulsion in the water.
coconut oil has added things like coconut flakes
No it will not disolve in coconut oil.

No I wouldn't say so. Coconut oil is antibacterial and anti fungal. I would say that if you used entirely too much coconut oil, yes there's a likelihood the scab might come off too early and be all sloppy, but to be honest only the size of a pea of coconut oil wouldn't do that. Make sure it's organic if you are going to use it, wash the tattoo two to three times as day with an antibacterial soap, then rinse off the residue and apply a small thin layer of coconut oil.
