Teach Soap

Hi! I've been working on creating a good cleaning, reasonably hard, bubbly recipe that is reasonably creamy for when my supplies arrive. I've run it through the soap calculator, but I still feel better if I run it through all of you to make sure it really will be okay since I'm not sure how to interpret the lye calculator. I did 7% super fat,
7% superfa
Castor Oil 10%
Coconut Oil 76 deg 30%
Olive Oil 20%
Palm Oil 20%

This comes out to:
Hardness 41
Cleansing 20
Conditioning 55
Bubbly 29
Creamy 29
Iodine 56
INS 158

Lauric 14
Myristic 6
Palmitic 17
Stearic 13
Ricinoleic 9
Oleic 38
Linoleic 8

Thanks for any input.

Did you mean 40% Olive oil? I ran it through soap calc and if it were me, I would lower the castor to 5%, it can potentially make the soap sticky. I would add the other 5% to the olive oil. The only difference is your bubblage drops to 25 and creamy to 26. Still a really nice bar of soap.

What's the other 20%?

I have a few recipes that have 10% castor and I don't have a problem with stickiness. I personally never go above 25% for coconut oil. It tends to be too drying for my skin.

OOPS -- yes, I meant 40% olive oil. Thank you all for your input.
