Thank you to all of you who have contributed to my post. My supplier still says he is 80% sure it is Palm oil and not kernel oil. I made a batch of soap using this oil. Can anybody tell me is there a way I can differentiate through the final product that will come out of the mold?

What is the maximum percentage of palm oil we can use? I mean i dont know whether it causes itchiness or not or some other issue like over drying as we are also using coconut oil. Please suggest a good percentage. Currently im using castor oil, sesame, coconut, olive, shea butter with 2:1 lye...

Thank you so much for such an informative answer. Really made me learn a lot of things. I am concerned about using high percentage of shea butter? Is that okay if we use shea butter up to 25%?

Thank you for your thorough response. I am using a hand blender and bring the soap to thin trace(since I'm scared if i bring it to thick it will solidify quickly and I wont have much time). AlsoI am using a silicone mold. and both of my liquids(oils and lye are almost at 45-50 degree celsius)...
