Maybe I need to take a vacation up there
I thought about Mango. I'm going to take a look at the differences between Mango and Kokum I think.
Personally I say Kokum. It acts very much like Cocoa Butter in all applications to me. I use it extensively in soap and body products. And the price is similar to what cocoa butter used to be.
Soapers choice has it back in stock at $158 for ten pounds as long as you do not need organic. (I am sorry, but I can't keep up with where everybody lives so I do know if you can buy from them or not.)
That sounded pretty exciting, but unfortunately, shipping would add $39 to my order.
That is way higher than soapers choice as well. Unless you would buy very little. Btw, if you do order from soapers choice they have a page on shipping prices that explains how to buy with cheaper shipping prices. I think it is 4 or 6 items like that are about the same price as one. I always order several items at one time.That sounded pretty exciting, but unfortunately, shipping would add $39 to my order.
Kokum butter from WSP would be much more in my price range.

I would suggest extensive research before buying from them. I do not want to slander a legit company and I do not remember for sure, but I think they are a scam company as in possibly selling fake exotic oils or something like that. And just now when I looked them up again there was nothing good about them and a lot of bad. So recommending caution!
I've had mostly positive experiences with them. And I love all the raw material I purchased from them
Unfortunately, I live in an area (Idaho) where the shipping for Soaper's Choice is astronomical. So the prices always look great at first glance, but I've tried adding items, and subtracting items, to no avail. No matter what I do, their shipping to my address typically adds 25-30% to the overall cost. As a result, they are one of the highest-priced options every single time. It's a bummer, because they have such a great reputation for quality. I've purchased their oils from local destashes, and they have always been excellent.
I’ve had all good experience with Jedwards, and all their products come with appropriate documentation. Their prices are good. They were at the HSCG conference in Hartford last May and had lots of free samples and it was great to meet reps from the company.
I've only ordered from Soapers Choice twice because of the cost of shipping. Free shipping during Black Friday is a BIG deal. But the shipping is a killer for me.Unfortunately, I live in an area (Idaho) where the shipping for Soaper's Choice is astronomical.

@justsomeguy years ago, I purchased from Jedwards for group buys and was quite happy with their quality and prices. But I don't need 44 lbs of anything, lol. In fact, I would like to shed about 44 lbs of "fatty acids," IYKWIM, but that's a whole 'nother topic.
Good! I stand corrected.
I only saw Jedwards pop up in a search for the first time this week, and now in this thread. Jedwards is driving distance from me. I’m gonna have to check them out. I love Soapers Choice, but Jedwards looks promising.
Yes and they allow customer pickup. Catania Oils is also good - off topic, as they don’t have cocoa or kokum. (Also off topic for @MelissaG in Louisiana, sorry!)
