Need Help

[Anna]

I am trying to make a 6 lb recipe.I am using the soap calc.What I don't understand is what oils you want to use less of,and what oils you want to use most of in a recipe.I don't want to make a soap that will dry your skin.

My DH made me three two lb wooden molds with lids.

This is the oils I have,Lard,veg shortening,canola,olive,coconut oil.

Thanks Anna

Anna, can I suggest you try soapmaker? There is a free 30 day download here. No obligations. It lets you play around with different recipes and oils and lets you see by a graft what you want to know. Very easy and fun!
