Thank you... I was considering using shea butter.. I had to take a break since I was pregnant but now I'm back and ready to start making some soaps so Im still going to do Olive, castor, shea, babassu and coconut like I said I'm new to this so can you give me a starting recipe.

Thank you and I finally figured it out I want to do a non animal fat soap and I being a newbie replaced the wrong oils thinking it was an equal replacement for another oil but now I got it down and finally got a recipe I can try out!!!

What's the ideal percentage for longevity for soap I'm playing around on SoapMakingFriend.com and I can't get anything above a 15% I noticed that the Babassu oil upped the percentage opposed to castor oil pulling down the percentage any advice is welcomed...

Thank you and I agree they gave some great feedback but like you said making a product that you stand by it was matters in the end.. and I'll look in to the link you sent

3.99oz water 2.22oz lye .33lb castor oil .34lb olive oil .33lb coconut oil did I do this right?? trying to do a tester batch

So I do own the oils would you just suggest using a two oil soap instead like coconut and olive I also have castor and I can make it a 3 oil soap I really appreciate all the feedback it helped me scale back a lot and not overthink it.

It is my first time maybe I will scale it back I plan on selling my soaps.. so maybe I'll just do a small test batch thank you all I was being overzealous lol... I definitely look in to the links you sent and keep you all updated on this soap making journey!!!

I'm using Babassu oil, Castor, Jojoba and Olive... I'm trying to make a 5lb batch how many oz of each oil should I use (take it easy on me I'm new to this lol)

I saw thinking around $6.50 for them because 8 in this area will be a bit much. And the great thing about my area is that there isn't a lot of competition. And since I'm actually using some amazing recipes I think I'll do well... I'm not in this for money alone I really want to make a difference...

I haven't started selling yet so I can still change the pricing of my soaps... Do you think $6 is reasonable for a 4.9oz? And thank you so much I'll definitely look in to that

ok thank you that's exactly what I've been doing so I'm on the right track.. follow up question is this reasonable my soaps are $5.00 and shipping is $4.50 and I've seen shipping cost for priority shipping flat rate envelope for 7.75 to Jersey and AZ

So I'm new to the business world and I'm trying to calculate the cost of shipping for a 4.9oz bar of soap ... Any tips???
