Crafty1_AJ Posted July 23, 2006 Report Share Posted July 23, 2006 I use palm for bar hardness. I use pko more for nice lather. Also contributes to bar hardness though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CareBear Posted July 23, 2006 Report Share Posted July 23, 2006 pko = palm kernel oil.do you mean difference between "palm oil" and "palm kernel oil" by chance? They are very different in soaps - I suggest you go to soapcalc.com and look at what the different qualities are. In short, palm contributes to creamy lather and is conditioning while palm kernel oil is cleansing and contributes hardness and bubbly lather (like coconut oil).

swamp_deb Posted July 23, 2006 Report Share Posted July 23, 2006 what is the difference? No difference, it is the same thing.pkf or palm kernal flakes is the same thing in flake form instead of solid.It can be confusing sometimes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Crafty1_AJ Posted July 23, 2006 Report Share Posted July 23, 2006 Oh yeah, I thought you were asking about the difference between palm and pko too. Palm is different from palm kernal oil. But pko and pk flakes ARE the same thing. Sowwy I misunderstood. I was WAY tired when I read the question. Good thing I've had some sleep this time.
