Recipe Tweak

[user 58006]

Just wondering everyone thought on these two recipe . And if there is better tweaks that are still low cost.

Olive oil promace - 50%
Coconut oil - 34%
Shea Butter - 10 %
Castor - 6 %

5 % super fat
33% lye concentration

I would like to have a recipe that I can switch out the Avocado oil with Hemp Oil. And change out the shea butter with Cocoa Butter & Mango Butter. I just want to a good balanced soap .

Your coconut oil % is very high for my skin. I use at 15% max, though 20% max is typically recommended. You will find some who are ok with it, but most find it far too stripping.

Are you averse to animal fats? Lard is the lowest cost oil for me, by a lot. It is half the cost per ounce of my next chrapest. It makes a lovely creamy lather and a hard, white bar. I use it at 50% in most recipes.

No animal fat . Would you lower the coconut oil and at it to the olive oil
