    By definition, COCOYL means coconut oil derived…
    Cosmetics aren’t always too strict when it comes to naming products and hypothetically, there could be cocoyl whatever products which contain palm oil too… however, palm oil is a source for longer chained fatty acids and hence isn’t well suited to adulterate sodium cocoyl isethionate.

    Indeed.  But most SCI powder is made with palm oil. 
    I’m just trying to find a product that is palm-free.

    They also have a 20 lb bulk option if you need non-hobbyist quantities.  https://lotioncrafter.com/products/surfpro-sci-20lb-bulk?_pos=2&_sid=6b419d281&_ss=r

    @Pharma Could be palm kernel oil? However, Sodium Palm Kerneloyl Isethionate is a legit INCI name. Not sure why it weren’t used instead.
