I've made one batch, 50% lard, 45% Olive oil and 5% Castor oil. It turned out very hard and is extremely moisturizing. Perhaps you could replace the Castor and some of the Olive with 10-15% coconut oil for some cleansing. I Think I may have to try this now.

I'm certainly not an expert, but I believe they use potash instead of sodium hydroxide and in fact boil the soap for days before pouring.

I've just recently started using shea butter and it's going to be hard to wait 3 more weeks to try it out. Your recipe looks great to me.

Oh that was simple, I planned it that way...joking. I hadn't noticed that, I kinda wish I would have sliced it to feature that now, now I've challenged myself to recreate it haha.
