SOOOOOOO...I wanna try to start to make my own soap yeeeeeeeey...

I am not too good with searching on the internet and hopefully I will get the answer here...

I have 12 oz Shea Butter oil
4oz Fragrance oil
plenty Olive oil
8oz Castor oil
2lbs Lye
1oz mica

Can I make a good soap with just these???? Can anyone help me with measurements...percentages etc? I want to start with small bashes...Thank you

Do I need a scale? I can buy one tomorrow...

You will definitely need a scale. I would convert the ozs. to grams to get more accurate measurements. Is your fragrance oil soap safe? Do you have distilled water and safety gear?

I would do
80% olive
13.3% shea butter
6.6% castor
with a 6% superfat.
