Just a thought ~ have you searched through the forum for pictures of other examples of other soaper's 100% CO soap to visually compare? Sometimes, we are our own worst critics because we are looking too closely at our own products, nit picking at every detail
I haven't made 100% of any oil soap but I did see an article online a while back where a lady did test a bunch of single oil recipes and posted pictures ~ if I can find it, I will add it later, but sometimes a visual comparison is helpful also because people see things differently and thus verbally describe things differently ~ just a thought, not meant to be a criticism. I say this because in my opinion, coconut oil has a strange appearance to start with, areas of opacity and transparency. Even after it's made into soap, it looks different from other oils in soap unless it's at lower percentage. But that's just the way I see coconut oil in soap
*ETA: I Googled "single oil soap recipes" and found a bunch of articles, including this one Single Oil Soaps - Learning Saponified Properties of Soapmaking Oils
which I think is the one I was referencing.
