I am making this soap in a couple hours:
201 grams sodium hydroxide
1 pound 3 ounces distilled water (538.7 grams)
11 ounces (311.85 grams) olive oil
3 ounces (85.05 grams) castor oil
1 pound (436.6 grams) coconut oil
1 pound 2 ounces (510.3 grams) palm oil
3 ounces (85.05 grams) shea butter

I've made this a few times. I just love how it feels in the shower and it gets the most requests in orders. It takes forever to harden in single molds (release time is days...) and I really think adding beeswax will help harden it, which is the only thing I feel it's lacking. Anyone have a suggestion on how much to use???

Welcome!
I use beeswax at 1%. I also don't gel.
