For some reason, I am having a difficult time finding a shea butter recipe that I want to use. I'd love to find one that uses also, coconut oil, olive oil, perhaps castor oil. Would love to find both at palm and palm free version of this. It seems like all the recipes I find have other oils/fats that either I don't have or don't want to use. Thanks! Any help would be appreciated.

You can make your own recipe on lye calculators. Brambleberry has one. Another popular one is soapcalc.net. You just scroll through the list and select which oils you want and how much either percentage wise or weight wise. And make sure that you are running any recipe that you take from the internet or books through a lye calculator. Misprints happen all the time and you need to double check it yourself.

Any of her recipes posted on Kathy's site can be modified in a lye calculator http://www.millersoap.com/

I use a simple recipe from Amanda of Lovinsoap (i think thats the name)which is 18oz olive oil 10oz of coconut oil and 4oz of shea then 12oz water and 4.5oz lye(din't believe there is a typo but check the lye calculator)

Try this
40% Olive
20% Coconut
30% Palm
5% Shea
5% Castor

All of my soaps are palm free and I use a combo of cocoa and shea to make up for it

I add 5-7% cocoa butter into all my recipes and you could do the same with shea butter. Even though the shea is softer, with adjusting your hard oils a bit, you will still come out fine. Just take your favorite recipe (all mine are palm free) and add in the shea butter, then run it through the lye calculator to give you the proper numbers.
