I was able to make a castile with babassu and olive using Potassium lye. It came out cloudy. Probably the tap water? I like the effect.

Welcome to the Forum! Is this your first soap? It looks great. Hey, just a word of caution. I use distilled water to avoid minerals and other unknown tiny things that may affect the soap negatively. Keep the photos coming!
 
Thanks for the feedback. It's not my first soap. My first successful castile. I made a batch with sodium hydroxide lye. It was solid no matter what. I mostly make cold process goat milk bars.
