How does this look?
 
It's very hard to read the way you have it pasted into the post. I'm not sure where the gram info and percent into split up or if it's all gram info.

Have you ever made a salt bar?

You could try

80% Coconut
20% Sunflower
with 20% superfat

or

70% Coconut
20% Sunflower
10% Shea
with 20% superfat

You could use 50% salt ppo if you've never made a salt batch. It would be easier to cut or use individual cavity mold. Although, you don't have to add salt because it will still be nice without it.
 
From what I can read. (It is rather difficult to read) It looks like your recipe is mostly coconut oil. If that is the case, I would suggest you up the Superfatting like Hazel suggests. Superfatting will allow more of the coconut oil to be free, so it won't be as drying to your skin. My first batch I made was with just 100% coconut oil and I superfatted it at 18%. It does an excellent job without drying me out too bad.
