Popcorn (Corn) Oil

[ChrissyB]

Hi
Does anybody use popping corn oil to make soap with? I think it is corn oil coloured yellow so it imparts it's colour onto the popcorn. I imagine it does the same in soap?
I have sourced a fairly cheap supplier and am just wondering what it is like to soap with?

I've never heard of popping corn oil? What are/is the ingredients? Is it corn oil? It may just be coloured canola? I know Chrissy - you do a small test batch and tell us all about it :wink:

I have not done so, but I have seen some soap made from the yellow popcorn popping oil. It turned out pale yellow. As long as you can find the SAP, go for it.

I have used corn oil with no problem, but popping corn oil? do you have a picture of the stuff?

I use corn oil a lot, but not sure if it's the same thing as "popping corn oil". :?:

It's actually soybean oil colored with beta carotene...I've bought many a bottle intending to make soap with it....just to see what color it turns the soap (I've heard yellow to orange), but I LOVE my popcorn so I end up using it up all the time...

Thanks Jadiebugs, now I know what it is!!
I found a picture of soap made with it on google, it was a pale yellow colour, looked quite nice.
