Does anyone out there have a recipe for CP soap using Olive, Almond, Sunflower, Coconut, Grapeseed, Castor oils (or any combination of). I don't have shea,mango or coco butter so the recipe can't have these ingredients in them. I have been on the web and there are many recipes that I came across but they included some type of butter which I do not have......anyone out there that has a good recipe with the oils listed above....would be greatly appreciated.

Honestly you could use soapcalc to create a recipe.

I'd start with this:
40% olive oil
25% coconut oil
5% castor oil
8% grapeseed oil
12% almond oil
10% sunflower oil

Then I'd just keep recalculating to where you get the soap bar quality numbers close to where you'd like them.
 
Even if you have all those oils, you don't need to use all of them in a recipe. I would save the almond, grapeseed and sunflower for another time or use them in lotion.
5% Castor
30% Coconut
65% Olive

Go to SoapCalc and plug in the percentages along with the total weight of oils you want to use and the lye calculator will figure the amount of oils, lye and liquid for you.
This should make a pretty good bar. The hardness numbers don't show up as great, but soap with a lot of olive oil usually hardens up well after a few weeks.
