Thank you so much I’m going to try both

Ok would you use a different oil other than RBO or Olive, or just less oil more lard?

I’m trying to come up with a recipe using rice bran oil, mango butter and palm kernel oil, using soap calc but can’t seem to get good numbers, I’m trying to make a soap with lower cleansing numbers because I feel like my homemade soap is drying my skin. Not sure if it’s the coconut oil so I...

So would I leave super fat at 5%? Sorry I’m fairly new to soap making, and using soap calc to figure recipes, I usually just use recipes already made, so I’m learning slowly but surely how to figure my own recipes!

Sounds great! Thanks so much, I will start here, can I add Shea where you would use the shortening or is that too soft of a butter? Also when do I add the sugar?

Do you have a recipe that you can share? I’ve been using coconut and olive oil and my skin is very dry and itchy. I’m wondering if it’s the coconut.
