I am wanting to make a neem oil soap, and I was thinking of the following recipe. My goal is to help my hubby heal the breakouts he gets on his face or to help him not get so many break outs altogether. He has very oily skin.
Coconut Oil 25%
Avacado Oil 20%
Olive Oil 25%
Neem Oil 20%
Castor Oil 10%
Superfat 5%

If I want a slower trace for this recipe, would I want to use water as a percent of oil weight at 33% or lye concentration at 33%? Do you think these oils at these percentages would be quick to trace anyway?

Neem at 20% will accelerate trace. I would use full water and superfat at 7-8%.

I finally made the soap with a few changes, and it turned out a lot softer than I was expecting even after sitting in the mold for a week and a half to 2 weeks. I ended up freezing the soap to get it out of the molds which worked out great. I used the rectangle silicone molds. I ended up using less neem oil in the recipe, but I can't remember the percentages off the top of my head. I'll post them later today. My bars have been curing for about a month now, and they are much firmer.

Thanks for sharing your percentages! Gives me something to base my first soap on.
