Hi guys I am dying to try cp soap and I thought i had all i need but the palm oil I have is an orange colour, and I thought I read someone posted about that not being the right kind. (it kinda smells like butter or lard
SO I was hoping if I told you guys what I have here you might be able to help me put a reciepe together thanks

I have coconut oil,sunflower oil, olive oil, beeswax (tiny bit 1 oz maybe) almond oil (about 20 ml's) milk powder coconut powder

I hope someone can help as I'd really like to make something!!

I have added a picture of the palm oil I have because I think this might be the wrong kind.. can anyone tell from the pic ??

Thanks for the castile soap recipie!
Thanks again

hmm...

You could try a very simple castile soap with the olive oil and coconut oil.

15% Coconut Oil
85% Olive oil for example.

Or many of these

Here is one that uses beeswax, you would need to scale this recipie down as it makes a nice large batch.

Or you could pick up some other ingrediants such as Veggie shortening or lard at the grocery store to give you more options.

You have unrefined palm oil, which is fine to use. In fact, some folks prefer it. It will probably give you an orangey colored soap, but that's okay, too. Here's a recipe you could try:

Coconut oil 15%
Palm 30%
Olive 45%
Sunflower 10%

This will be a lovely, moisturizing bar. Have fun.
