I've been playing around with the soapcal and I came up with this.
You guys know what you're doing, how does it look?
OO 40%
PO 15%
Shea butter 10%
Coconut 25%
Castor oil 10%
gives it:
hardiness 38
cleansing 17
condition 58
bubbly 26
creamy 30
iodine 58
INS 151
I know it's not super cleansing and I need to go back and read about the iodine number cause I don't get that one yet.
I want to add a little ground oatmeal to it and that's about it. I just want to make something non irritant and moisturizing. I know it's on the soft side but is that bad or ?
This second one may need tweaking because as I was reading, someone said not to exceed 10% shea butter. I'll have to tweek it but I wanted input please.
OO 12%

shea 15%
coconut 18
castor oil 10
sweet almond 15
palm kernel 5
That gave it
hardiness 40
cleansing 15
condition 56
bubbly 24
creamy 33
iodine 58
INS 146
I was going to add honey and oatmeal to that one.
I'm so confused at this point. Maybe I can lower the conditioning on that one and up the cleansing since I *think* the honey will add to the conditioning.
edit:
If I do 10% of shea and palm kernel I get this:
hardiness 41
cleansing 18
condition 54
bubbly 27
creamy 32
iodine 56
INS 150
That looks better (well to my very untrained/unskilled eyes). I need to walk away now and clear my head
