Hi there, and welcome! First off, consider making 500g batches instead of 1600g. That way, you only have a few bars of something you may or may not like.
Second, when I plug your recipe into the
soap calculator, I see four things:
1. Your super fat is 13.5% - and that's without accounting for the extra fat from your goat milk.
That is
super high, and almost certainly why the bar feels oily. All that unsaponified oil is going to create a lot of soap scum, and will probably clog your pipes, too. Consider reducing your superfat to 3%, or at the very most, 5%. This ties in to the next observation...
2. Your cleansing number is 17 due to the 25% CO. That's pretty high for someone who doesn't want to dry out her skin.
Of course, if you live in a humid area, maybe you need a higher cleansing number. Just remember that "cleansing" really means "stripping the oil from your skin." Soap with a cleansing number of 0 will still clean you! And the lower the cleansing number, the less superfat you generally need to keep the bar from drying your skin.
3. Your recipe is pretty low in palmitic and stearic acids, both of which would make the soap harder and longer lasting. An easy fix would be to reduce the OO significantly and replace that with some lard, tallow, palm, soy wax, or a combination thereof.
4. Your FO is only 2.5% - that is going to be very lightly scented. Maybe that's what you are going for, but typically it takes more than that for the scent to stick around and be noticeable.
I hope that isn't discouraging to hear all of that! You can make a few tweaks and end up with something that you really like, maybe:
30% lard or palm oil (not palm kernel oil)
25% olive oil (considering using light instead of pomace so it doesn't trace so fast)
20% coconut oil
20% shea butter
5% castor
After plugging in those numbers to the
soap calculator, do the following:
Set your
batch size to 500g, which makes about four bars, or 750g for five to six bars.
Set your
lye concentration to 33% (not water as percent of oils)
Set your
superfat to 3%
Use your goat milk as full water replacement
Tip: to get more bubbles despite reducing your CO, dissolve 1 T sugar PPO in your goat milk before adding the lye solution. You won't see any change to the "bubbly" number in the
soap calculator, but your soap
will be more bubbly!
Have fun, and let us know what you end up trying!
