Are you using need OIL? Or the dry leaves of the plant?

Need oil can be added at 3% to 6% of total weight of oils. You have 1000 grams total of oils in your recipe, so find 3% (or 4, or 5, or 6) percent of 1000.

I think that is going to be a poor bar of soap. Also, very difficult to work with all of those hard oils and the soap batter will trace very quickly. I would completely leave out the stearic acid. Palm oil is all you need to make a hard bar of soap. It doesn't lather - coconut oil makes large bubbles. Olive and other soft oils help balance out those out.

**since you are new to soap making, I would change your water/lye ratio to the default setting. (click on - water as a percent of oils - 38)

I have no experience working with oleic acid, myristic or lauric acid.

What oils do you have? I see palm oil. Any animal fats like lard? Coconut oil? Olive oil? Other soft oil like rice bran oil, high oleic safflower or sunflower? A small bit of castor oil (5%) helps support the bubble/lather.

I would try something like this. You can change the those amounts up and down a little by about 5 t0 10 % and still get a good soap. I wouldn't go over 25% coconut oil - it can be drying to the skin.

45% palm
35% olive
20% coconut

Hi mr pragasbalan, it's night time for many of the forum members. I'm afraid you'll have to wait several hours to see if anyone can help you with your recipe.
