Hi you all! 
I created 2 recipes based on other members shared recipes.
The goal is a bar that will last for many showers, that has a creamy lather and moisturize well.
Will you please help me check the oils (%), addatives (%) and calculated lye? The addatives are the same for both, only the oils differ.
All feedback and suggestions is greatly appreciated.
3 % superfat
Addatives:
Aloe Powder x200: 0,5 % of water weight, to create aloe juice instead of water, to help boost lather and give label appeal
Sodium Citrate: 1 % of oils, to chelate for hard water
Kaolin Clay: 3 % of oils, for its cleansing properties + label appeal
Rice Bran Flour: 2 % of oils, for its calmning properties (ok amount?)
Sea Salt: 2 % of oils, for longevity and label appeal (ok to keep in?)
Mica: 0,5 % of oils (Good amount? Don't want too much coloration of the foam/water)
