So I have no idea what goes with what or how which measurements are best with which oils etc but what I have to hand is
Shea butter
Coconut oil
Olive oil
Castor oil
Sweet almond oil

I've made basic olive oil and I've made a OO and CO,
And I've made a CO, OO and Shea butter soap so looking to try something new! Only a small batch and the mould holds 13.5 oz

Can someone show me a recipe to make

Thanks
 
One site I like a lot is www.millersoap.com. She has a lot of recipes with difference combinations of ingredients.

With your ingredients I would try:
5% castor oil
20% coconut oil
10% shea
65% olive oil

13.5 ounces is a very small batch. Do you have a very accurate scale?

ETA: I forgot the most important part - run your recipe through a lye calculator, like the one at soapcalc.

Yes it's like a mini mould, I like to try out recipes with it before making it in the bigger mould, saves wasting when it messes up lol! Thanks will give it a go

Oh I have sunflower oil too
