Hard soap
Dear all,
We are currently producing a natural hard soap made from palm, copra and olive oil.We want to substitute palm oil for environmental reasons.I need your help to guide me on the right choice of the plant-based substitute for palm oil which can play the same role and harden the soap.
Best regards -

@Tyss The closest relative of palm oil is coconut oil, but perhaps you’ve already considered it.

May add cocoa butter and a salt (table salt or sodium lactate) to the formula to get a hard bar.

You can use some other oil and add stearic acid in sufficient percentage. Must be hot process of course.
-
@Tyss you can just make it by olive and coconut oil.

Best regardsYou could look into RSPO sources? RSPO = roundtable on sustainable palm oil, and they help with identifying compliant supply chains.
