My third batch- What do you think about this recipe?

[nj]

OO-36.8%
CO-21%
PO-26.3%
AO-5.3%
Castor-5.3%
Cocoa Butter-5.3%

Soapcalc says-
Hardness-40
Cleansing-14
Conditioning-57
Bubbly-19
Creamy-30
Iodine-59
INS-150
superfat 5%

All within the 'suggested ranges', but I still don't know if that's good enough? Oh and BTW, I don't know what Iodine and INS are and what they have to do with soap...anyone know?

Any feedback is greatly appreciated! Thanks

oops! I'm sorry this should probably be moved to the recipe feedback thread...

I never pay attention to Iodine or INS. Some people do, but other soapers like myself have found them to be inconsistant to useless/meaningless when compared to the actual behaviour/performance/outcome of our finished bars.

From where I'm sitting, your recipe looks fine. It should make a hard, gently cleansing bar whose lather leans more towards the creamy side.

Thanks IrishLass, I guess I was nervous about it even though it looked 'normal'...
