Please critique this recipe...

I have been playing around with this recipe in soapcalc (Thanks, IanT, for the sticky thread) and have come up with what I think will be a nice soap. Really bubbly and moisturizing is what I'm aiming for.

I am quite the inexperienced soaper, so I'm not sure that I've hit the nail on the head. Any advice, comments, or input you could offer would be appreciated.

I'm new at soap making too and have been told not to use more than 5% castor oil.

That looks pretty darned good. I like my Conditioning to be at least 60, & I keep my Castor at about 3%, because it can be drying.

Numbers are helpful, but you really won't know what the soap's like until you've tried it. :wink:

I agree with mandolyn. You won't know until you try it. But personally, I use 10% castor oil in my soaps. But other than that, it looks good.
