deb12c Posted May 28, 2008 Share Posted May 28, 2008 Are Palm Kernal flakes the same as 'Palm Kernal' (NOT palm Kernal oil) on the lye calculator? I think I read somewhere that they were but I want to be sure. I did a search and couldn't find where I read it. Thank you! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

deb12c Posted May 28, 2008 Author Share Posted May 28, 2008 Thanks Meridith! I thought so but wanted to be sure. I'm off to make soap. I ususlly make CP but I am trying HP today, wish me luck I want it to be usuable sooner than CP. I am making it for my grandson with the Lemon Dream Deet Buster, (the same that is in the co-op) the bugs just love to bite him. And I have to say... this stuff smells pretty good, better than I expected. I hope it works as well as they say it does. I bought a pound of it LOL Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CareBear Posted May 28, 2008 Share Posted May 28, 2008 Palm oil and Palm KERNEL oil are different. But Palm Kernel and Palm Kernel OIL would be the same.The difference is in the KERNEL Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
soycrazy Posted May 28, 2008 Share Posted May 28, 2008 Please post how it comes out I'm ordering some of that in the co-op and never thought of using it for soap Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scent Cellar Posted May 28, 2008 Share Posted May 28, 2008 I have palm kernal flakes in every soap recipe I make and love them. And there are so easy to store without having to refrigerate. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not sure if you read that correctly or not. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
deb12c Posted May 28, 2008 Author Share Posted May 28, 2008 It turned out well and it smells nice, not real strong. I used 1 oz PPO I hope it keeps the bugs from biting him. I think I will make him some whipped shea with it just for 'extra' protection. I will let you know if it works. I finally made my first HP soap.I love the idea of being able to use this right away (HP). I will give my daughter a bar to use on him and let the rest cure for a little while. I already have it out of the mold it is still very warm. I will cut it in a little while. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just pour instead of dig and scoop. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CareBear Posted May 28, 2008 Share Posted May 28, 2008 This part confused me: as 'Palm Kernal' (NOT palm Kernal oil) so I was just making sure the information was clear. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's good to know that it smells good in soap since I've wondered about that. Glad it went well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
