Orange Zest Soap Recipe:

780g total oil batch
42% lye concentration (it's a low water soap)
2% superfat

Olive oil 85% - 663g
Coconut oil 10% - 78g
Castor oil 5% - 39g

Water 150g
Sodium hydroxide/caustic soda 108g

I made this soap with the oils at room temperature and the lye solution recently mixed, so very warm. You can make it with warm oils and cool lye solution too - either way is fine, it's a very forgiving recipe. Most of my soaps are made with an olive oil based recipe, similar to this one.
