As a cosmetic ingredient, organic copra oil is recognised for its properties and benefits:
Widely used in soap making, it provides an excellent foaming ability, creaminess, and hardness to the soap, along with a good cleansing power.
Highly stable against oxidation, it does not easily go rancid.
With a neutral odour, copra oil is an alternative to virgin coconut oil for preparations where the coconut scent is not desired.
Very nourishing and protective, copra oil significantly reduces skin dehydration.

This oil tends to solidify at temperatures below 25°C. This phenomenon has no effect on its quality.
We recommend reheating it if necessary before incorporating it into your mixture by placing the bottle under a stream of hot water for a few minutes to liquefy it. To liquefy a large quantity of oil, place the bottle in a hot water bath for 10-20 minutes, shaking from time to time.
To be added to the oil phase for homemade cosmetics.
We recommend using 15 to 30% of it in your cold-saponified "homemade" soap formulas to give them good foaming power and a very pleasant feel.

Copra oil, sometimes called deodorised coconut oil, is derived from the dried pulp of the coconut, unlike virgin coconut oil which is derived from the fresh pulp and retains a delicious coconut scent. Copra oil is refined and deodorised to guarantee an oil that is highly stable tooxidation, white in colour andneutral in smell. It is a good alternative to virgin Coconut oil for those who prefer a more neutral product or for scented products where the Coconut smell is not desired, but with similar benefits.
Copra oil is particularly interesting for soap-making because it is one of the rare carrier oils (along with Babassu oil and Palm kernel oil) to contain a high proportion of lauric acid.
This saturated fatty acid with a relatively short chain (12 carbons) has very interesting properties when saponified, as it solubilises quickly and easily inwater, producing a lovely light lather and giving soaps a very pleasant 'melting' effect. It also has good cleansing properties. For this reason, soaps containing too high a proportion ofCopra oil can have a drying effect on the skin. We recommend limiting the amount of Copra oil in your soaps to between 15% and 30% , to get the most out of its properties while keeping the soap very gentle on the skin. Being a partially 'solid' oil (due to its high content of saturated fatty acids), Copra oil will also contribute to the soap's hardness. An essential oil for making homemade soaps!

Essential oil of your choice (optional): 35 ml (7 teaspoons)
Notes and precautions (Aroma-Zone): Before you start saponifying, we strongly recommend that you read our know-how sheet "Cold saponification" to fully understand the method. Be sure to read the precautions for using lye before you start and follow the instructions for diluting the lye.
Procedure: See our "Cold saponification" information sheet for details of how to make a soap. Weigh the soda accurately, dissolve in the water and set aside. Melt the solid oils, then add the liquid oils. While the mixtures are cooling, weigh any other ingredients. When the 2 mixtures are at around 27-38°C, pour the soda solution into the oils and mix well (preferably with a blender) until you see a "trace". Add any other ingredients and incorporate into the emulsion. Mix well then pour into moulds.
