  • Alternative to Palm Kernel Oil (CPKO) in Bar Soap

    Posted by aoredo on January 1, 2021 at 11:25 pm

    Hello All, 

    We have various formulations that always seems to require the use of Crude Palm Kernel Oil (CPKO) for Bar soap. However with the recent ridiculous rise in the prices of PKO, I am looking to see if there are alternative cheaper products for CPKO out there. The cheapest blend that we seem to have achieved so far uses PFAD (40%) / Tallow (40%) / CPKO (20%). I was hoping to get CPKO down to 5%, but was told to wish for a Unicorn instead. 

    Please any suggestions? Thanks in advance.
