Definitely yes on palm shortening! I used to buy 40lb buckets of palm oil and had to melt the entire bucket just to use a small amount. I had no means to melt that much oil so I had to let the bucket sit in a tub of hot water for hours. Huge waste of time. Hopefully someday I can afford the drums with heat strips so I don't have to waste time melting oils. I use palm shortening now to save my sanity lol
@@Skylightatdusk When calculating your recipe there's no difference. The benefit is you don't have to melt down your entire batch of palm oil to measure it. Palm shortening can be measured without melting the oil first.
It's a pretty bar! Really makes the impression in the bar stand out. Personally I love how it hardens my bars. I appreciate a well balanced bar too. I only have two bars I make that are less than 6 oils my bastille soap and an Aleppo soap, I make those by request from the pharmacy I supply. Great video talking and making a single oil soap. I really like that palm comes in a no stir option, I go bonkers when the supplier is out, I try to stay far ahead of that problem. Especially this last year. The supply chains a mess, but that's a diffrent story. Thanks once again for entertaining us! Jill
Thank you for posting. I am starting to really learn about and appreciate palm oil in soaps (for the face). What type of skin do you have on your face please?
Thank you so much. You mentioned this is not a good bar to use on overly oily skin. What about acne prone skin? Or would you recommend 100% coconut oil soap for acne prone skin. My face has broken out severely this past almost year. My health and a new medication are just destroying my face. Being in my 50's i should not look like i am in puberty. I would appreciate any advice and if you have a recipe day coming up if you have a magical concoction i would be so happy. Enough with my rambling. Thank again. Have an awesome weekend. 💕
This actually works really well on acne, and the skin loving benefits are great for skin over 40. I would realistically lean toward a 50/50 blend of coconut and palm, though.
@@MrsSoapAndClay thank you so much for taking the time to answer my question. I am going to take your advice and make a 50/50 bar. Thank you so much again. Have a great weekend. 💕
Funny how the TH-cam algorithms work. I am getting ready to make a one pound 100% palm oil soap for a customer. This is due to allergies to olive, rice, and coconut oils. I have made 100% olive and I have made 100% coconut, but never 100% palm. I don't even use palm in my regular recipe (I'm a tallow girl) but I do what the customer wants, within reason. Sounds like this is going to be a nice, gentle soap for my customer.
So I love Making milk soaps, and I want to try this out as well as a 50/50 with coconut oil, Being as I will be doing unrefined goats milk, I truly don't believe I'll need the sugar.... what do you think? I love your deep dives by the way, your explanations are amazing.
This is really interesting, thank you for showing us! Now I'm wondering if it would make a great Sea Salt soap substituting the 80% Coconut oil for Palm? I may just have to try that! Hope your jaw feels better soon! You are going to have to tether yourself to your bed so you don't go wandering around again! ;)
Did you ever try that sea salt soap with the 80% coconut oil substituted by palm oil? Did you use only palm oil or a combination of palm oil and palm kernel oil?
I know this is old. Binging videos... I've heard about peanut butter whiskey. Heard its good with some grape flavored something... Supposed to taste like pb&j. I dunno.
So, I was watching an experienced soaper from the UK and she measured out solid palm oil for her recipe so I asked if it was no-stir or if she didn't believe palm had to be melted and stirred each time. She said she'd never heard of that and if it was necessary you'd have to do that with all solid oils. Got me thinking, why do you only have to do that with palm oil? Thanks
Stearic can separate from the palm when cool and sink to the bottom. It’s a unique solid oil because of that. Technically if you don’t melt your oils to recombine the stearic into the rest of the fatty acids, nothing terrible will happen to the soap, and the final batches will be heavy on stearic acid (which still isn’t bad). For consistency from batch to batch, it’s recommended to melt and stir before measuring.
So I probably make the most controversial soap ever because I use palm & tallow plus 3 other oils in my new favorite recipe. Have been loving this recipe....BUT...I had NO idea about the stirring of the palm each time! There's no way I could have stirred mine today! It is hard-ish in the bucket, and I have a BIG bucket to work through. Will it all be o.k. ? Does the fact that it hardens up on me mean that I have the shortening version? I get mine from Essential Depot . How much longer are you with the jaw tie? I hope you're getting closer to losing it! I know it must be an aggravation to put it mildly.
Oh, it’s aggravating for sure. 😂 Honestly, there have been many times I’ve been lazy and have not fully melted my palm and everything turned out fine. Just trying to give good info for the newbies out there.
@@MrsSoapAndClay , WHEW! I'm sorta a newbie soaper....almost a year now. I was so freaking out hearing you say I should melt and stir my Palm. I have made about 60 soaps with my Palm and not stirred, and when you said that I was in panic mode! None of these soaps have finished their cure time yet. So happy to hear a pros cheats on the stir sometimes! 😂 So now I'm wondering how on earth I can melt down a big bucket to stir it each time ?
Yeah melting down the whole bucket is tough! I have those bucket warmer things to do most of the heavy lifting, but that requires me to remember to plug them in.
Interestingly, palm olein is the one that’s hard to find these days. To your question, since you’re removing the “solid” bits, I would suggest running this through a soapcalc for better lye amounts.
@@MrsSoapAndClay first of all id like to thank u for replying so quickly! Honeslty im really new to all of this, and i cant seem to wrap my head around the soap calc thing...
Hello soap & clay, I am getting my 1st bottles one palm oil and palm kernel oil tomorrow delivered. I was wondering if you have done a 50/50 mix? on paper (soap cal) it looks about perfect to make. wondering if I'm missing anything? love your posts. I have been soaping about 2 almost 3 months and I've made about 20 maybe 25 batches for fun giving away lots (to find what I like ). Thank you
Hey! Palm kernel and coconut oil have very similar soaping properties, so you can definitely do that! Will make a very hard bar with not a lot of work time unless you’re careful, so don’t try too complex of a design with your first batch. Have fun!
@@MrsSoapAndClay I haven't made any animal fat soaps. Not sure I want to. Oregon is pretty happy with vegan products and I honestly don't find the soaps are lacking. On the other hand I'm super excited to learn new things so maybe I'll change my mind 😌
@@MrsSoapAndClay when you do olive oil don’t forget to cover its deep secret most don’t know about please-night harvesting and what that does. Thank you so much for going through all the oils and sharing everything. Love your channel ❤️
I’m not sick. My voice is doing weird things with this whole can’t close my jaw thing.
I pray your jaw heals 100% and real fast.
Nothing wrong with palm oil. Keep up the good work.
Wow! I like your soap. I can't wait to make 100% palm oil soap, after a lot of searching someone finally answers my questions ... thank you very much!
Am so glad ur making soap from palm oil as I find it always turn out thr best for me. ❤
I love all the things! Woman you are the best!

What is the difference between palm shortening and white palm oil in soap making?
@@Skylightatdusk When calculating your recipe there's no difference. The benefit is you don't have to melt down your entire batch of palm oil to measure it. Palm shortening can be measured without melting the oil first.
Ayyy. These make great dish soap bars with zero superfat. I do palm oil only here in thalamus

Like the one I also need to get for my kombucha for the winter? LOL
Like that, yes!
How can I used your hot paste soap this recipe was made 2 months ago said you would use it in a soap hack was it done ?
Do you mind sharing what oils you used for the superfat? Also, could you use extracts in the bar ?

Hey! You bet!
Can this recipe be made with the hot process method?
You bet!
Hope you get better of your jaw... I dont use palm, because I cant get it here in Chile 🤷🏻♀️ I remplace it half aned half with cocoa and shea
That’s a good sub!
Yeah it works very well.... Today I made 100% coconut oíl soap.... For dish washing... Love it
Madam please did you bleach the plam Oil
No I did not, but refined palm can be purchased!
How about 50 % coconut oil+ 45% palm oil + 5% castor oil soap recipe?
