Sharing this, because I have struggled over this for the last 9 months of soap making: Many of you will disagree with me: but I need to post this, as I've thought over it, long and hard: Let me share my background. I grew up in Kansas. High agriculture. Where the used to be fertile land is now...

Hi all! First time post here! I’ve made a few batches of CP soap and it was time to resupply, so I bought some ingredients from Brambleberry including two pounds of Palm Oil. When it arrived it was quite liquid, which didn’t concern me because I expected it to get to the 95 degree melting point...

Hi, all, I'm wondering what I did wrong with the formulation of a veg oil soap (experimental) that's 70% palm oil & 30% soy. I added some coconut oil, olive and castor. No added salt, sugar or fragrance. My issues are 2. I just unmolded and cut it tonight and, though I know it's raw, the...

Hi there! I'm new to soap making and I was wondering can I use the coconut oil or palm oil I see in the supermarket aisles? Most of them are in the cooking oil section. Thanks!

When I was first learning to make soap via the "soap queen" I was told to heat up my palm oil and give it a stir before mixing it with my other oils. Now that I am making more soap I am buying a big bucket of palm oil. How do I go about adding palm oil from the bucket to my recipe? Thank-you!

Hi! I have made a few batches of soap using other oils than palm oil. Because of the boicot it is impossible to buy in Norway, and buying it abroad is too expensive because of the shipping costs. Last night I discovered online that there actually still is one kind of palm oil availalble, but...

Hi all, I have a new pot of palm oil sitting in my cupboard, taunting me and wanting to come out and play. I haven't used palm oil in any of my recipes yet and wanted to know from some more experienced soapers, if there were any tricks to adding it to recipes. Is it palm oil that has to...
