Well, I don't know where you're located, but I get palm oil in the natural section of the grocery store. I'm not sure about shea... I finally found someone locally in Phoenix.

I found palm oil in the grocery store, it's 'organic vegetable shortening' and label says 100% palm. I found it in the natural foods section like pp said.

Punctuation is a beautiful thing :wink:
You say you have coconut, olive and palm on hand; that's enough to make a basic skinloving recipe with a lot of bubbles, both fluffy and creamy.
Here's some usefull info in oils and butters

If this is going to be the first time you make soap; I recommand leaving it scentless and without color.

Be sure to check your recipe at www.soapcalc.net
