I wanted to play around today and stray from my "norm". I came up with this.

Water as percentage of oil weight 25%
Superfat 6%

576 g Total weight of recipe

Water 144 g
Lye 79 g

Olive Oil 37% 213 g
Coconut Oil 76 27% 155 g
Palm Oil 23% 132 g
Castor Oil 6.5% 37 g
Jojoba Oil 3% 17 g
Avocado Oil 2% 11 g
Beeswax 1.5% 8 g

Hardness 40
Cleansing 18
Conditioning 52
Bubbly 24
Creamy 27
Iodine 56
INS 152

Are those values good? This is all straight from SoapCalc. I appreciate any feedback.

It looks fine to me. If it was me, I would not go higher than 20% coconut and add the difference to your olive oil.
