My First Cream Soap Recipe
Stearic Acid 50% 8oz/226gms(I'm using this as a jumping off point and will reduce that amount as I try new recipes)
Coconut Oil 5% ( I only want a small amount because of the drying properties) 0.8oz/22gms
Castor Oil 8% (has emollient properties plus bubbles Yay!) 1.28oz/36gms
Cocoa Butter 5% (adds hardness, creaminess and conditioning) 0.8oz/22gms
Shea Butter 5% (also adds hardness, creaminess and conditiong) 0.8oz/22gms

I am going to supercream at 3% because I don't want anymore stearic acid free floating in there anymore than necessary. Next time I may try the boric acid and water supercream instead.
Here is my video of using the Advance Lye Calculator for cream soap recipes.
I am making this recipe as we speak and will update this post as to how it works out. So far so good.
