Hey guys, I am trying to formulate a recipe using the oils I have at the moment. I have to wait for payday to buy anything else! Yes, I am a junkie already! Here is what I came up with using the Soapcalc.com calculator that Faithy so helpingly (is that a word?) pointed out to me.
Shortening - 45%
Coconut Oil - 25%
Canola Oil - 20%
Cocoa Butter - 10%
Hardness - 39
Cleansing - 17
Condition - 56
Bubbly - 17
Creamy - 22
Is my coconut oil too high a percentage? I read somewhere that it should not be over 20%
I also have on hand castor oil, avocado oil, sweet almond oil, and peach kernal oil but those (except for castor) are all conditioning oils, right?
Oh brother I am so confused. I think I may have done TOO much research for one day and now all the info is overwhelming. Any help that anyone can give me on tweaking this would be awesome indeed!!
Thanks!!
