What is the highest superfat percentage that would be good to use? I made a loaf at 10% yesterday and it has extra oil just seeping out, no zap. I used EVOO, Coconut Oil, Palm Oil, Almond Oil, Castor Oil, Shea Butter, and Avocado Oil. I've done 8% before with no problems.

Will a higher superfat help with the dry feeling from hard water? Thought it was worth a try.

I do my standard recipe with a 7-8% superfat. My all coconut soap is at 20% superfat. I would leave it be for now and see if the oil soaks back in.

I don't think a higher superfat will be much help with hard water.
I've heard of people using citric acid to try to help, but I have no idea if it worked for them.
