How's this recipe?

30% Avocado Oil
30 % Coconut Oil
40% Olive Oil

I haven't completely decided on scents or additives yet, but have some nice exfolient I might use as an additive.

I suspect, without trying the soap, that this will be a softer soap, with small mild bubbles that leaves a nice feeling of moisture on the skin.

If you wanted larger bubbles, I'd drop the Avocado % to 10% and add in Palm Oil at 20% which will help with bubbles and lather. The trade off will be a bar of soap that is harder, has more bubbles but may not be as moisturizing or mild as you are desiring.

Thanks!! I think I will try that with the palm oil! What about an oil to stabilize the lather?

I am trying my first big batch with this one... should I be including water in the weight so that it doesn't overflow my mold?

If you want stable lather, I would add a small amount of castor oil. If you do, don't forget to recalculate the recipe.
