sorry for the dumb beginner Q :oops:

I am trying to find a reasonably hard ( to last longer) but nicely conditioning bar of (cp) soap.
I have very dry skin and a few of my kids have dermatitis.
ok here goes...

coconut oil fractioned-20%
olive oil- 20%
avocado oil-30%
castor oil- 5%
shea butter- 20%
cocoa butter-5%

anything I can do to make it better? anything there that is just an extra/not needed thing?

I am so excited to start this

I still need to get my oils/fats etc supplies so if anyone that has more experience than me ( I have NONE!!!) could help I will love ya long time

Thanks
Amanda

You have 55% in soft oils, but you're also using butters which are harder. Try a small batch and see how you like it. It might take longer to harden, so be prepared for a longer cure time. Next time sub the FCO with regular coconut and do a higher superfat.
