Just google "sustainable palm oil for sale" and you should find several suppliers.
In searching I found where I already purchase to be a supplier of sustainable palm oil. Good on them. ☺
 
I too use sustainable palm.

Ditto, organic sustainable is all i will use.

Source for sustainable Palm oil? I'm interested. Thanks

I got mine from Mile High Soap, but they've been out for 2 weeks (expecting more any time), and I haven't found any on the internet but I only looked 2 weeks ago. Many organic, sustainable products are made in far smaller quantities than 'conventional' products, but hopefully that will be changing soon!

I've never used palm. I make bars just as hard using firm butters or more CO.

Just my personal preference. My customers have to suffer, I guess!

More CO may make a hard bar but makes a very soluble bar that does not last as long, plus more stripping. Hard butters do make nice hard bars but up the cost considerably to make the batch
 
I don't use the CO because many have issues with it, itchy, dry. I am one of them too. Too high a PKO can do that as well.
Butters like CB can make a bar crack and crumble at higher amounts
 
CO @ no more than 10% I find works fine otherwise I too itch and shed dandruffy skin, even so needs to be backed up with lovely butters and goodies.
