palm Kernal

[SoapMom]

I just bought some palm kernal oil but I really don't know what amount to use! :shock: I want to use it with Olive, palm, coconut, castor and shortening. Any suggestions to the amount? And what condition does PKO give to a soap?

Palm kernal is often used interchangably with coconut......it's drying, but not quite as much as CO.

I would try dropping your CO down to 15% and maybe adding 10-15% PKO as a start with a 5% superfat.

Thanks for the tip! I'll try that. I didn't know that PKO was similar to CO. Thanks for the info!
