So few of us make transparent soap that you're having trouble getting answers. We're not ignoring you on purpose; we just don't know.

I do not make transparent soap. I have never made transparent soap. But here are a couple of videos that may help.

EDIT: It won't allow me to post more than one video. Will post next one in next post.

OK, last try. It keeps posting duplicate videos despite my re-copying and pasting:

I have experience with making transparent soap -- comments:

This is your soap base:
Sunflower oil
Cetric acid (citric acid)
Castic soda (caustic soda aka NaOH sodium hydroxide)

This is the "polyol mix" used after making the soap to render it transparent:
Sugar
Water
Glycerin
Alcohol

Your soap base needs an INS value of 160 or higher. You can't get there using only sunflower oil. You need at least some coconut oil, babassu oil or PKO (palm kernal oil). In any case, this is a tricky soap to make. Most soapers end up with a sticky mess. Unless you're an experienced soapmaker, be prepared to make several trial & error batches before you're happy with the result.

I don't make transparents any more because it is too expensive to make compared to Melt & Pour soap which is basically the same thing, so why bother?

ETA: Here's a link to a tutorial that explains the process:

Why does the INS value need to exceed 160?

I've never made transparent soap. Perhaps buy a copy of a transparent soap making book? This book has gotten good reviews here:

That's my recommendation based on what I learned through a LOT of trial & error!

(sotto voce :shh Altho, I have to say, it is possible to make 100% olive oil castile transparent (INS 105). I had a special request from a soaper and together we developed a process that works. NOT for the inexperienced transparent soaper. I doubt I could wrap my head around the process at this late date. That was so loooong ago.

I'm not sure this is a very good tutorial unless you use exactly the recipe given (and even then it'll probably be very soft and sticky with all that castor- which is reflected in the comments of people who tried it on that page). I tried to come up with a recipe (sorry there's no picture, photobucket ate it) using the solvent percentages she gives, and the soap melted away when I tried to use it after curing. Seriously melted, a quarter of the bar just vanished the first time I tried to use it and it dripped for a long while afterward. Way too much glycerin, I think.

My second try was from a recipe here- http://www.soapmakingforum.com/showthread.php?t=31220. I used cocoa butter instead of palm, and knew it wouldn't actually be clear because of that but it is a pretty nice soap and the bars aren't all melty like my first try was. I'm going to try again based on this recipe, with probably coconut and a bit of PKO or stearic so maybe it'll actually be sort of clear this time and see how that goes.
