Hello from OZ

[PlatypusMoon]

Hello all
I have just taken the jump into making CP soaps after doing alot of reading, and so far so good(fingers crossed) i am finding it all fascinating and alot of fun.
I am in NSW Australia, and live with my partner and a 4year old son.
One thing i have noticed is how hard it is to find Palm oil out here.
Looking forward to meeting you all

Belinda

Welcome!

Your best bet for palm oil would probably be Heirloom Body Care - I'm pretty sure they are in NSW. Last time I checked, they had the best prices on it.

Or, if you are just wanting a small amount to play with, Supafry is palm oil - it's the solid deep-frying oil that you can get in some supermarkets, the one in the gold wrapper, in the fridge near the butter (in my BiLo, anyway)

Hi! Welcome to The Forum.

Hello & welcome PlatypusMoon (love the name!).

I agree with Becky - Heirloom Body Care are very reasonably priced and their postage is usually quick. I make Melt & Pour soap and use them for a lot of my supplies. (You can also find some of my MP recipes on their recipe link - yay! NOT to boast, I'm just excited!!!)

You will find everyone here on the Soap Making Forum very friendly and helpful. Enjoy your time here.

I am a new member too, from NSW. Just wanted to add, I find https://www.escentialsofaustralia.com/index.php to be the cheapest base oil suppliers. If you are near me (Penrith) and wanted small amounts, let me know, I buy in 20 kg bags, so would be no trouble selling off a couple kilos. This is a lovely forum BTW..

You're right there too Micki. Max at Escentials has excellent prices on oils and butters. His organic extra virgin coconut oil's price is brilliant!

Great Link

Thankyou for that.I have just ordered up big from Escentials Of Australia.
I was holding off feeling I didn't have the best info and Voila ! There it was.
So here's looking soapy at you Kids.
Can't wait for the parcel.

Escentials certainly has the best price on drums of coconut oil. Last time I bought a drum, it was $55 from him, or $85 for the identical oil from Heirloom. :shock:
