Hi Experienced Soapers,
I am new to soap-making and this is my second batch of soap. My first batch of soap was 95% OO and 5% CO. After a 4 week cure, the soap turned out to be reasonably hard, conditioning and lathery, but I did not like the slime and the gel that accumulates on the soap. It also seems to dissolve quickly and I am sure it will not last long. With my second attempt, I am aiming at a harder, long-lasting, non-drying bar without using palm oil and animal fat. After lots of reading and research, I've come up with a recipe using SoapCalc. I need your help with validating my recipe, if the % of hard and soft oils chosen is right for the kind of soap I am targeting. Here's a snapshot of my recipe from SoapCalc. Thanks in advance.
