First attempt

Will be making a couple batches today. I have one recipe that I know will be a winner gifted to me, however, what I am about to post is a total makeup of me playing in the calc and playing with oils I have available. Any input is great.

Rice Bran Oil, refined	%25
Coconut Oil, 76 deg	%20
Tallow Beef	%20
Cocoa Butter	%10
Olive Oil	%10
Shea Butter	%10
Castor Oil	%5

I will add kaolin clay 3%, sodium lactate, micas, and a fragrance/essential oil(haven’t decided on that just yet)
Thanks hope all is well at the homestead

Let us know how the soap turns out.

If you are new to soap making, maybe I suggest that you start with a simple recipe...make a few batches so you understand emulsion and trace, the saponification process. Get a feel for it...a 'control' if you will, before you start mixing it up so you have a better sense of how the different oils and butters either add or subtract to what you are wanting to make.
