Has anyone tried Camel Fat in Soap? I do make a Camel Milk Soap which turns out really nice and sells very well. Thinking about adding in some Camel Fat. Apparently it is a high Oleic fat. LOL, always looking for a little edge in the market.

It never would have occurred to me to try, but camel fat is not something easily available around here (that I know of). Please do let us know how it turns out if you do try it.
Off the cuff here, I'd call it "Hump Day Soap: to get you to Friday"

Brilliant idea! And Carolyn, the Trader Joe's around North County have been selling Camel's milk castile soap from...Turkey I think....and people are buying it. It's actually a nice bar of soap and I'd have never thought it was castile. I'd buy it again; in fact I should do so asap because its all I'm using in this ultra low humidity.
I have been making a camel milk soap for at least a year, but am interested to find out how it will feel with the addition of camel hump fat. Hopefully I can find out the SAP value for Camel Fat, otherwise since I do not have a good balance scale I will probably just wing it with some small test batches with without using the camel milk in it, since camel milk here is uber expensive here. My Camel Milk soap is named Hump Day

The saponification value of the Hachi fat is similar to tallow (190–202 mg KOH/g) and lard (192–203 mg KOH/g). I think you would be safe using either of those you find on a calculator.
Camel Hump Oil made from the fat is used in cooking and is beneficial to skin.
Since this has been resurrected...any updates? Was the camel fat soap any good?
It was a very seller for me and I really liked the soap
