I'm designing a new recipe, was thinking I'd make it an almond milk soap superfatted at 8% (to be particularly nice for body and face throughout the cold months ahead) but I could just as well use water.
Let me know what you think of the percentages. I ran it through soap calc and it meets the values. Keep in mind palm and animal fats are not an option for me. I have precious little shea butter and castor oil at the moment, and not a whole lot of sunflower, but wanted to try something a little different. I can always eliminate the sunflower though and add more olive or something else if you think it'd be better.
Here we are (superfatting at 8%):
Olive Oil: 50%
Coconut Oil: 30%
Castor Oil: 10%
Sunflower Oil (high oleic is all I have - not sure of the difference between regular): 5%
Shea Butter: 5%
