Palm oil

Can you make CP soap without Palm oil?

I have everything else...Shea, Coconut, Olive, Castor, Jojoba, Veg Glycerin, Lard, Corn Oil, Wheat Germ, Sweet Almond, Rice Bran, and Veg Soybean oil.

TIA

I never use palm oil and I like my soap. Some people use lard as it is similar in characteristics as palm oil. I personally don’t like it. Just work out a balance of oils for the characteristics you want. Be sure to run it through a reliable lye calculator.

You can use http://www.soapcalc.com/ and it will give an estimation of what your combination of oils will give you.
