How can i get my soap to not be so slippery feeling without compromising conditioning? This slippery feeling is after i've rinsed. Is there a certain percentage of high oleic oils that i should stick to? I'd like to try my soap in hard water. I wonder if it would rinse better.

What is your recipe and how much do you superfat? My soap is not slippery after I rinse off. All coconut oil with a 20% superfat works well in ocean water or hard water.

I don't see anything out of the ordinary. Do you have an accurate scale? Did you check the soap for zap? Did the soap gel? Is your olive oil 100% olive or is it a blend?
