Sharing and Seeking Advice

Since I am still new to soap making I like to post what I plan on making a few days ahead to get some opinions. I saw the thread talking about the Bramble Berry swap and decided to join. Here is what I put in soap calc. I wanted something simple to mix and used all the oils I had on hand. I'm going to think about it the next few days and would appreciate any feed back or thoughts. :think:

I'm sorry. I just saw your post today.

It appears it will be a mild bar with creamy lather. I don't know what to suggest other than adding another oil or oils to increase the conditioning. But this suggestion is only my opinion! I just happen to like more conditioning in my soap. I don't think it would really be necessary for yours since it has a lower cleansing value.

Are you just using water for liquid?
What percentage of lye discount will you be using?

Yes I would up the conditioning factor by increasing the rice bran oil if you don't want to add anything else. If you have available my choice is shea and sweet almond oil.
