Thank you :) I might have to start putting one together by the looks of things. I'm fairly new, and if anybody has any input on the properties, or how they'd like it sorted, I'm all ears.

If you look at soap calc website there is a table which specifies what qualities certain types of fatty acids give to soap, ie. linoleic, myristic etc. then there is also a table on another page that tells you what percentage of these fatty acids are contained in certain oils so if you want to make a more bubbly bar you look up which fatty acids make bubbles, then look at the list of oils too see which are high in those fatty acids and then incorporate them into your recipe.
