Abstract: Coconut oil,palm oil,olive oil,camellia oil,shea butter,sweet almond oil,sacha inchi oil and jojoba oil were used as raw materials to make three groups of different vegetable oil content soaps by cold process for studying the effects of vegetable oil species on the characteristics of cold process soap.Eventually,the skin sensory evaluation of cold process soap made by blended vegetable oil were conducted.Results reveal that species and content of vegetable oils have no significant influences on the pH value of cold process soap,but have influences on all other characteristics of cold process soap.The cold process soap made from coconut oil has high hardness and foaming power,and rich in foam quantity,but short Trace time.Trace time of the soap is shortened when coconut oil is mixed with some unsaturated vegetable oils,while the hardness and foaming power of cold process soap are improved at the same time.Addition of camellia oil,sweet almond oil and olive oil in the soap contributes to foaming.The stability of foam can be enhanced by addition of olive oil;but foaming performance is deteriorated when shea butter and jojoba oil are added.When sacha inchi oil is used in the cold process soap,it will be obtained of the following performances like high moisturizing ability,exquisite foaming power,comfortable washing feeling,and best skin feeling.
