When I ran my recipe through soap calc, I had:
Hard: 46%
cleanising: 34%
Conditioning: 48%
Bubbly: 39%
Creamy: 18%
Are these decent percentages?
 
Being that everyone's skin is different, you'll never know until you try it out in an actual batch.

Having said that, and speaking only for myself, the cleansing number is pretty darn high, especially as it relates to the conditioning number. If I made such a batch myself, I would have to superfat it anywhere from 10% to 15% for it to feel nice on my skin.

My 2 favorite recipes have these numbers:

Recipe #1 which I superfat @ 8%:

Hard 45
Cleansing 21
Conditioning 51
Bubbly 32
Creamy 34

Recipe #2 which I superfat @ 6%

Hard 38
Cleansing 19
Conditioning 59
Bubbly 28
Creamy 28
