been playing with soapcalc

been playing with soapcalc creamy stays bout same but bubbly drops to get conditioning should that bother me

 

[honor435]

id use you palm oil, with coc and olive and shea, it makes and awesome bar.

 

[goldfeever]

thanks

thank you but why does shea seem to counter conditioning on soap calc

If you add castor it will up the bubble number.

 

[goldfeever]

castor

heres what i came up with what do you think
13 oz. olive oil
9 oz. palm oil
5 oz. coconut oil
3 oz. castor oil
2 oz. shea butter
will add 1 oz. ppo of fo

 

[honor435]

looks ok, your bubbly is only 19, creamy is good
if you did this it would up the number of bubbly to 26
3 castor
9 po
9 co
shea 3
oo 10 just a thought?

 

[goldfeever]

thanks

thanks honor will try that but tbe reason i laid off on the co was when wife and daughter used soap it was they said "to sweaky clean".i thought it was fine cus very cleansing . ill give this a try just hate the wait for cure after kills me

For someone who is coconut sensitive like me, drop the CO to 20% and put 5% shea butter in there.
