I created a recipe today and the numbers look like this: Hardness 45 Cleansing 15 Conditioning 51 Bubbly 24 Creamy 38 Iodine 51 INS 143 My first question is : How reliably do these numbers translate to a real bar of soap? My second question is about the range of number provided for each category. For example: Hardness is 29-54 and harder is better right? But not at the expense of other properties right? As a soaper, where do you aim for in each range for the different kinds of soaps you make(facial soap, body soap, hand soap, shampoo bars etc). I aimed for the middle range on all the properties (cleansing, conditioning, bubbly and creamy) while trying for the hardest bar possible (Iodine, Hardness and INS). I have yet to try this recipe. Any thoughts on the property values in general?
