I want to make a shampoo bar. I finally found a recipe but it calls for kukui oil (3%). I've never even heard of this! And in any case, I have tons of oils and don't want to purchase anymore right now.

The recipe also calls for:
Olive Oil
Castor Oil
Sweet Almond Oil
Jojoba Oil
Coconut Oil
Palm Oil

Can I substitute HEMP OIL instead? Or can I just add a bit of the other oils (I would run it through the lye calc of course) I'm thinking since it's only 3% it shouldn't make too much of a difference, especially with all those other oils. Thought I could up the jojoba 1% and add the other 2 to the olive.

What do you think?

Also, it would be ok to cphp this right?
 
Hemp is awesome in a shampoo bar. I would run it through a calculator and go for it .CPHP should be just fine.
