......to make it better? Just throwing recipes around and seeing what I might try.

Here are the numbers I got:

Hardness - 42
cleansing - 17
conditioning - 53
bubbly - 22
creamjy - 29
iodine - 58
INS - 153

How's that lookin'?
TIA
 
hmmm....I usually soap more bubbly than creamy, but that may be an interesting soap!!

Yeah I was kinda hoping the sugar might even that out....I dunno. Just playin' with the soap calc. So you'd up the coconut? I dont wanna veer off into "drying" land either. I've always superfatted at 5-8%, but now I'm thinkking I might start playing with upping the SF more instead of readjusting recipes. Hmmmm.
 
that's very similar to my beer soap recipe. I just tried it and loved it. I'm more of a creamy soap person myself.

Hardness - 40
cleansing - 17
conditioning - 56
bubbly - 21
creamy - 28
iodine - 60
INS - 152

I used: Olive 30%, palm and CO 25%, Sunflower 10%, Castor and Mango Butter 5%. 8% SF. Mango butter seems to make the soap melt in my skin compared to the stickiness of shea. Not sure what the beer does to the lather.

What SF are you going to use?
