Plugged into soapcal.com here are your soap qualities. I am in no way a soap expert so hopefully they will chime in. If it were me... I would lower the coconut and palm a tad and raise your olive for a more moistuizing bar.

I agree with Jewls. Maybe change it 8.43 Olive and 4.5 Coconut. The amount of coconut you have listed in your recipe could make the soap feel very drying, even with a higher superfat. Olive oil makes a nice hard bar, so you won't need to worry about you recipe being too soft if you use more of it. Please remember though, that any time you change/adjust something in your recipe you need to run it through a lye calculator again.
