Just wanted to ask if this looks somewhat okay.

It's a little high on Iodine but everything else seems okay. What do you guys think?

EDIT:

Totally messed that up!

Castor oil
Avocado oil
light olive oil
Red palm oil
Beeswax
Sunflower oil

I can't seem to think up a good combo recipe. I really need some help to get these oils off my shelves.

You need to add some coconut oil. Out of all the oils, there are 3 cleansing oils.

You can make a nice soap without coconut or PKO. All soaps will clean and have lather. some of those oils might go bad faster that others. Just don't let it sit around to long. Play around with a soap calculator and have fun.
 
Well, I have less oil, but def added to much wax. It's still soap though!

Now I have..

Olive oil
Sunflower
Castor
Beeswax

Yeah, I don't want any of it to go bad, so trying to use it all before I get new oils in.. larger quantities.
 
You could do an 95% olive and 5% Castor oil bar. It will take a while to cure (6 months), as it will be like a Castile soap. If you don't mind the color, you could do 60% red palm, 30% olive and 10% Castor oil.
 
Personally I don't think bees wax belongs in soap. It will last a long time, I would put it away for another type of craft project.
