1. Avocado Oil is a great moisturizer. It contains vitamins A, D, and E, which makes it healing as well as moisturizing. 
2. Canola Oil is a good moisturizer but is less saturated than other fats
3. Castor Oil is often used to super fat. It attracts and holds moisture in the skin. It produces a nice hard bar of soap. 
4. Coconut Oil makes soaps lather beautifully but can be drying when it makes up a large portion of your soap's fats. It will make a very hard, white bar of soap with abundant lather. It even lathers in very hard water or even sea water.
5. Palm Oil makes a hard bar that cleans well and is also mild.  The quality of Palm oil is far superior to other vegetable oils. Palm oil is universal and used in many expensive luxury soaps.
6. Shea Butter is a wonderful superfatting agent and contains a large percentage of ingredients that do not react with the lye thus remaining in the soap to nourish your skin. 
7. Grapeseed Oil is a lightweight oil that absorbs into the skin quickly without leaving a heavy greasy feeling.
