I am going to make my second batch of liquid soap. My first batch not from a video, but from a recipe I came up with myself. Please, feel free to tell me I am crazy in the head if that is what I need to hear, OK?

Coconut Oil 76degrees-8oz
Olive Oil pomace-6oz
Lard-2oz
KOH-3.4oz
H2O-6.1oz

I added the lard to get the cleansing number down some. I am aiming for a decent hand soap to go into my dispensers. I am a nurse, so I wash my hands a lot. I need something that is moisturizing but cleansing.
 
Thanks, you all confirmed my suspicions about that. I am not sure soapcalc.net is really set up for liquid soaps. It looks like it is always going to be a little off due to all the additional steps of neutralizing and such. Any ideas where a more accurate calculator might be found for liquid soaps?
