I still feel like that's kind of heavy on the "cleansing" oils. I also feel like 5% isn't going to affect much. I like my avocado at 10%, at least. I'd probably take it away from the CO or PKO, since you're also getting hardness from the Shea.
All of us who like avocado for some undefinable reason are going to keep suggesting you use more. Everyone else is just going to roll their eyes at us and shrug. [emoji1]
Your advice is sound. I'll readjust the avocado/PKO/CO amounts and give it a shot. I just have to be careful I don't have too much soap laying around the house. It's just me here, and I don't use that much soap
As for falling into camps, I fully get it. We all make decisions and stick with what works. I'm guilty of that on many levels. I HAVE to use beeswax in everything. I can't even conceive of something without it. It is of course THE wonder ingredient that allows the earth to continue its rotation on its axis, duh!
Make sure the Sunflower is HO not regular
I’d drop the lauric+myristic down to at least 10. I use AO, which produces more lather than other high oleics, and get good lather with that level of L+M. Even at 10 soap can be drying in winter. I find high SF not helpful.
Single AvO soap has reported to leave a greasy film after rinsing so using it lower amts may have a cond benefit that sticks around after rinse. I started a thread on this. Got responses but not really much of a confirmation.
(All these initialisms) AO? Avocado Oil?
