Various oils are used, some common and some exotic, in the making of natural soaps which can include olive oil, palm oil, avocado oil, cocoa butter, apricot kernel oil, almond oil, grapeseed oil, hemp seed oil and coconut oil. Each oil has a slightly different property to it and different skin benefits. Some are better for dry skin or for people with eczema. Many people enjoy cocoa butter in their soaps for its soothing, moisturizing properties.
