Teach Soap

Still fiddling with the recipe I want to use for this weekend.
Here's what I have available:
Lard
Coconut oil
Sweet Almond oil
Avocado oil
oh I have a teensy bit of Mango butter as well...we're talking superfatting amount here
and beeswax ... in case you really thought that could be beneficial

and I can get some Olive oil if desired

What say you as far as percentages?

I never did get my 'perfect' recipe figured out previously so I feel very much like I'm starting over now, these years later.

See if you can get some olive oil.

Lard 37%
Coconut 20%
Olive 30%
Sweet Almond 5%
Avocado 5%
mango butter 2%
beeswax 1%

There is no way you can specify which oil/butter will be your superfat as the lye will take what it wants. Add everything up front. I would superfat at around 7%. Try this as a small recipe and see if your skin likes it.

I don't have to use all of these in a single recipe. I was just listing what I had to choose from.

Thanks for the thoughts. I'll play with the numbers a bit. See what happens.
