Suppose that you have only four types of oils:
1. olive
2. coconut
3. palm
4. castor


Which would be the best CP recipes for:
- hand soap
- body soap
- face soap
- shampoo
- laundry soap
...using only these four oils (or only three or two or one of them).
 
No specific recipes for you, but those 4 oils could do a good job with all your needs. For hand and body soap I would use less castor, 5-10%, for shampoo I would use less coconut and more castor. For laundry I would use almost all coconut. For face, perhaps more olive and less coconut.

Soapcalc is your friend! Play around with your percentages and see what the results are.

I'm sure some more experienced / knowledgeable member will chime in with a more helpful answer.
