light pomice

Hi there! Today I found some light pomace for $16.79 a gallon at Gordon Food Service. Is light pomice the best olive oil to soap with? I am really trying to find some less expensive oils and nutrients to work with.

Light pomace is fine to soap with. It's from the final pressings of the olive oil. It can be a little tricky to work with, so keep your temps low until you figure out exactly what it's going to do.

Would light pomace be the same as working with corn oil? I'm really starting to like the way it behaves!

I don't know. I haven't soaped with corn oil.
