    Why bother when you can purchase it for only $0.65/lb. by the drum. Just sayin’.

    Depends on what you want to do with it. We produce potassium cocoate by saponifying  coconut oil with KOH which produces a liquid. This allows us to choose the coconut oil type and grade. Sometimes it is extra virgin coconut oil, other times  crude coconut oil, depending on the product we are producing and the target market.

    Buy coconut oil, react it with Potassium Hydroxide yourself. Not that hard to do.
