This is the recipe I used
7 Oz Coconut Oil
7 Oz Palm Oil
7 Oz Olive Oil
1 Oz Castor Oil
7.3 Oz distilled water
3.1 Oz Of Lye
Why would my skin feel tight after rinsing really well , I feel like I always need to put lotion on after using it.
Should I add something to my next batch?
It has been curing for about 6 weeks :O(

I just plugged your recipe into soapcalc & got a 22 for cleansing, but only a 49 for conditioning.

I'd up the olive a little & drop the palm & coconut. Maybe even add a more conditioning oil or butter into the mix.

That looks like a 5% superfat and over 30% coconut oil. Some people find over 25% drying. When you do your next batch, reduce the coconut to 20-25% and add the difference to you olive oil. Or, you can try the same recipe but with a 7% superfat to see if you like that better. :D

I find coconut oil over 20% drying. I normally superfat at 7 to 8%.

Would that then be 6.4 % Coconut oil? Do I leave everything else in the recipe the same or do I add 2.6 Oz to the OLIVE OIL
Thanks Every one for this help IT MEANS A LOT TO ME <3

Recalculate your recipe for a 20% coconut and add the difference to your olive oil.
