Will this work? I hope so

I can't remember where I got it but it has been in my book.

I go it last year when I was thinking about doing Soaps and just kept it.

Does it seem to you all to be a workable recipe?

19.2 oz Coconut Oil

3.2 oz Cocoa Butter

6.4 oz Macadamia Oil

16 oz Palm

19.2 oz Soybean Oil

When I run it throught the soap calc this is what I get

Harness 45

Cleansing 20

Conditioner 48

Bubbly 20

Creamy 25

Does this seem like it would be good?

I'm like DeJae. I run recipes through the soap calculator but I'm not real sure what percentage the hardness; cleansing; bubbles; etc. should be. Is there a chart or listing somewhere or is it just kind of personal preference?

This is probably not the place to post this but does anyone have a recipe for a nice baby soap? Forgive me for asking if there is one already posted. I just happened to think of it while I was posting. I'll take a look.

Thanks,

NancyT

When using the Soapcalc, look at the top row of links, there is one that says "Soap Qualities", this will expain each quality and give you a starting range. you can adjust from there for your own preference.

Regarding the question about baby soap: For infants, I recommend bathing in plain water. For babies, I'd use a gentle castile. You can go 100% olive, or 90% olive and 10% castor for improved lather. I'd water discount (I use 33% solution when I make castile).

Can't get much milder than castile.

DeJae, I can much more easily evaluate recipes if they are given in percentages rather than raw weights.
