Thanks, @erindlea.  I was concerned with disruption of the acid mantle, leading to irritation or inflammation.  Good to know!  

Hi @MarkBroussard.  Sodium stearate is the result of the lye solution and stearic acid.  So, yes, that’s what I put on the ingredients deck.

Try adding a little alkyl esters or cetyl ester for more slip.  Just 1% can make a difference.
