Carrie Posted December 31, 2007 Share Posted December 31, 2007 Yes, you can. I never use Palm Oil. You can usually get coconut oil at Super Wal-Marts in the cooking oil section. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scented Posted December 31, 2007 Share Posted December 31, 2007 Plug what you have into your calculator and see what it says you may get. It could lack on bubbles, but I don't know what other oils you've got. Thought you could make soap out of almost anything. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Daria Posted December 31, 2007 Share Posted December 31, 2007 I have never used lard. Cocoa butter for hardness, possibly. Castor oil for bubbles. Of course run thru soap calculator. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

marrwilliams Posted January 1, 2008 Share Posted January 1, 2008 Hi Faye!Do you have Babassu or Palm Kernal oils? Both are great replacements for Coconut for cleansing and bubbles. Lard rocks in soap and will replace the Palm nicely. Castor oil will give you nice bubbles and conditioning.Marr Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Crafty1_AJ Posted January 2, 2008 Share Posted January 2, 2008 Sub lard for palm and pko or babassu for coconut, if you've got those on hand. Replug the recipe into a lye calculator. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
