Teach Soap

2 oz Olive Oil
4 oz Coconut Oil
1 oz Sweet Almond Oil
1 oz Castor Oil
1 oz Cocoa Butter (Can I use Shea Butter?)
7 oz Palm Oil

2.2 oz Lye
6 oz Water
1 oz Fragrance Oil

Almond Oil, Sweet 1oz 6.25%
Castor Oil 1oz 6.25%
Cocoa Butter 1oz. 6.25%
Coconut Oil 4ozs. 25.00%
Olive Oil 2ozs. 12.50%
Palm Oil 7ozs. 43.75%
Total Weight 16

2.23 ozs. of lye for a 7% lye discount (2.2 ozs. of lye is 8.5% lye discount)
4 to 6 ozs. of water

Almond oil is a soft oil, so is castor. At 12.5% that will make your soap soft. 25% coconut could make your soap drying. Coconut is normally used up to 20%. I would recalculate this recipe into grams. As you can see a tiny bit more or less of lye can drastically change your superfat.

I can see the difference in the fat contents.

I appreciate you rechecking the calculations.
