I let a friend borrow my The Natural Soap Book and I can't get a hold of her. I need to know the correct amount of coconut oil for the shampoo bar. Does anyone know? Can someone please help. Thanks! I found the recipe online but this is what I got (2 versions of the same recipe):

Tropical Shampoo Bar

3 lb cold, Distilled Water

500 grams Sodium Hydroxide

2 lb Olive Oil (25%)

1 lb 8 oz Castor Oil (19%)

8 oz Sweet Almond Oil (6%)

4 oz Jojoba Oil (3%)

4 oz Kukui Oil (3%)

2 lb Coconut Oil (25%)

1 lb 8 oz Palm Oil (19%)

3 pounds distilled water

500 grams sodium hydroxide

2 pounds olive oil

1 pound 8 ounces castor oil

8 ounces sweet almond oil

4 ounces jojoba oil

4 ounces kukui nut oil

2 ounces coconut oil

1 pound 8 ounces palm oil

45- 50 grams pure essential oil

This formula calls for more sodium hydroxide than the sap value charts suggesst because of the castor oil.
