One last ingredient....

[Brian Suds]

So I have figured out my simple recipe I want to use for my beginner batches, it's generally olive, palm and coconut oil, distilled water and lye with FO.

I was considering also 5% castor oil, does this sound like a good idea? What are the benefits? I plan to do both HP and CP if that helps.

It sounds like a great idea to me. I love castor in my soap. I find it adds a nice 'oomph' or 'body' to my lather, filling it out nicely.

My "go to recipe" is palm, olive, coconut and 5% each of cocoa butter and castor oil.

castor oil adds density to the lather

i've re-vamped almost all recipes with 5% castor for more moisturizing. Still looking for the "one".
