My very first CP soap EVER!!

Looks yummy! Nice first soap, mine didn't look quite so nice.

I love layered soaps. I think I like this concept better as a layer than as a swirl, it very much reminds me of a cappuccino or a root beer float. Thinking I need to invest in a textured soap cutter, it's one think I've never done.

Nice one!

It's a bit overly complicated though. You really don't need all those ingredients.
I'd go back to something fairly basic;
20-25% coconut
20% palm
5-8% castor
47-55% olive

You could pick one of those more luxurious oils/butters and add 5-10 % instead of the olive oil. That way, you learn what feel each 'extra' gives and what suits you best.

Wheatgerm and hemp oil are prone to rancidicy. You can use smaller quantities of fresh hemp (you could add vit E as soon as you open the bottle), but I would definitely ditch the wheat germ to avoid DOS.

Also, you used more than full water.

I fully agree with Dagmr, ditch the hemp and wheat germ oil. The above recipe will give you a very good bar of soap that will last well.

It's cute. No swirls but more like an actual rootbeer float.
