Troubleshooting Tallow Soap

[soadsudz]

Hey everyone!

so I am trying to troubleshoot this tallow soap recipe I put together. I wanted to add some more bubbles and lather to 100% tallow recipe so I added a little coconut and castor

Tallow 90%
Coconut 5%
Castor. 5%

super fat 5% lye calculator said 134.57g for 1000g batch I rounded down to 134

its only been cured for a couple of weeks but its pretty drying..... the bubbles I wanted are perfect

I know I know patience! but I've been making soap for a long time with plant based oils and I never experienced my hands being dry after testing it out after a week. Tallow is new for me. I had referenced another thread on here about tallow being pretty cleansing (Does anyone find high % tallow soaps drying?) but it was from 2017 so I wanted to reach out and see if anyone had any more insight on the topic.

Thank you!

If you want a more bubbly lather, I think you will need to add more coconut oil.

the bubbles are good in recipe but the bar is drying

might have to wait and see after a full cure
