uperfatting provides emollient properties in toilet soaps.  Commonly used for the purpose are coconut oil and tallow fatty acids, cocoa butter, cold cream, lanolin, stearic acid, and fatty esters or alcohols.  In the process of superfatting, all the fat or fatty acid present is not used to make soap.
