How do these oil percentages look?

[Zing]

After a trip to Hawaii, I want to use kukui and macadamia nut oils. How does this ratio of oils look?
27% coconut oil
27% palm oil
6% shea butter
4% castor oil
12% olive oil
12% macadamia nut oil
12% kukui oil
Thanks for your help!

You can certainly give it a try. I don’t use expensive oils in my soaps but in leave on products. Lower the macadamia and Kuki to 10% and and up the castor to 5 and drop the olive and add that to the palm. But, again if you like it give a small batch a try. You never know until you try it.

In my opponion too many oils. So much work. If you use fewer oils I'm sure it will be more satisfying. Just my opponion.

I would also lower the CO. Many use it at 20% max I go lower

Thanks everyone, I appreciate the feedback!

Just curious why soapers use less than 20%?

Because the more you use the more oils it will strip from the skin and be drying. I personally use 22-25% in a couple of my recipes.
