		<description>Hi Jaime.. I&#039;d recommend keeping your liquid oils somewhere around 60% of your oil ingredients and the hard oils at about 40%.

Based on the ingredients you listed, I&#039;d personally try something like

40% olive oil
20% Soybean oil
20% coconut oil
20% palm oil

fragrance would be what suits you most.. I prefer most of my fragrances to be about 1 ounce per pound of soap.. but some fragrances are stronger than others and you don&#039;t need as much.. maybe .75 per pound.

Oatmeal.. I like baby cereal oatmeal because it&#039;s sooo fine and gentle, but regardless of what type you use, I usually go for something like a tablespoon per pound of soap.

You&#039;ll want to run the above percentages through a lye calculator to get the amount in ounces you need for your specific batch size, as well as your liquid and lye amounts.

My favorite calculator is http://www.soapcalc.com but I have a list of different ones you can try:

Good luck, have fun and don&#039;t be afraid to experiment once you get the hang of things. :)</description>

		<description>I am looking to try and find a recipe for oatmeal handmade soap.  I was buying this soap from a woman who no longer wishes to sell the soap nor will she share her recipe.  I know a few of the ingredients and I was hoping to see if you could provide one that seemed similar.


olive oil
coconut
soybean
palm oils
fragrant
oatmeal

Do you know of anything that might be like this bar of soap.  I really appreciate your help</description>
