Blend, EV Olive,
Palm, and the famous SoapQuick).

Brief Description |
|
Castor Oil
|
Castor Oil is chemically dissimilar to
all other soapmaking oils, and imparts unique qualities to soap lather. 5%
Castor Oil in a soap recipe results in much creamier lather
than would otherwise result. If you are using a low-coconut-oil
recipe, Castor Oil can help bring back some lather to your bars. Castor oil
is saponified with the other oils used in your soap recipe and is not added
at "trace."
Castor Oil
$29.25 for 1 Gallon
Castor Oil
$106.25 for 5 Gallons |
Coconut Oil - 76 Degree
Comes in a Bucket or Drum
 |
Standard 76 degree, RBD, ("refined,
bleached and deodorized"), food-quality coconut oil. This is plain coconut
oil. Commonly used in the
confectionery and infant formula industries. Works fine in soap as well. Recommended SAP Value (Sodium Hydroxide) =
.178.
Note
that we do not pass through the shipping premium
(sometimes
$10.00!) for 5 gallon products charged by carriers. You pay for shipping
by weight only.
1 Gallon Pail.
$24.95 - 7.5 LBS in 1 gallon pail
5 Gallon Pail.
$74.00 - 35 LBS in a 5 Gallon Pail
76 Coconut in Drums:
We stock 76 coconut in drums. Call or email for current price. |
Coconut Oil - 92 Degree
Comes in a Box
 |
Less expensive than 76 Coconut and works just fine in
soap. 92 Degree Coconut oil is 76 Degree coconut oil that has been
partially hydrogenated to raise it's melting point. Works just the same as
76 degree in soap, save for the fact that theoretically it should produce a
slightly harder bar of soap. Recommended SAP Value (Sodium Hydroxide) =
.182. We don't ship this oil long
distances during
the warm weather months - so stock up while it's still cool. This oil has a
very long (18 months in a cool location) shelf life.
Can't ship in hot weather. Local pick-up only during summer months.
92 Degree Coconut
$79.00 - 50 LBS in a Box
(only this size available)
VOLUME DISCOUNT:
There is a discount of $10 per box

A whole lot easier to
use than coconut in drums! |

Olive Oil
"Earth Mother"
A customer writes...
"Thank you, so much, for finding and offering an exquisite olive
oil. All the other olive oil vendors, even the high dollar gourmet
ones, don't offer a truly strong peppery/grassy oil to the US
market. They're convinced that no one will like it, that our
palates want bland instead of robust. You are unique in this
regard."- J. of SF Bay Area
|
Whew! We've reached far into the hinterlands of Andalusia and
beyond to bring you this absolutely unequalled, whole, extra virgin olive oil.
Rich in the natural stearines and waxes found in hand pressed olive oils a
generation ago, this oil has not been filtered, refined or winterized. This
oil has a murky appearance, especially in cold weather, and comes complete
with a little sediment in the bottom of each pail. Very strongly colored,
very tasty, and with a polyphenol count of around 400, this olive packs a punch not often
found elsewhere. Has a very "peppery" finish. This olive is normally blended with less-expensive, bland
olive oils to provide character and color. Intense. The Vincent Van Gogh of
olive oils. (if you use more than just a
little of this oil in soap - you'll never get a white bar, but rather a very
creamy-yellow bar that is difficult to color).

World's Best
Olive Oil
Substitute For Soap
Our Favorite Liquid Oil for Soapmaking
Works Just Like Olive In Soap. Long Shelf Life.
Olive &
Safflower Blend
"Mission Peak Blend"
10% Extra Virgin Olive
90% Non-GMO High Oleic, Expeller Safflower
If you knew more about
how Pomace Olive is made, you'd be switching to this oil! |
In the old days, there was always a surplus of some over-the-hill olive oil
around, stuff too nasty to be eaten, but just fine for lamp oil. When
someone hatched the idea to try a bit in soap - it sounded great: finally! a
place to get rid of the stuff! But how times have changed. Nowadays, every
drop of olive is coveted, and thru a miracle of technology, producers now
purge the yucky smell and taste from even the most rancid of oils. This
purified oil is then artfully blended back into a little of the good stuff
for table use. And it isn't cheap.
Combine this story with the fact that over the last 20 years many new seed
crops have been discovered and developed to yield high-oleic oils which,
save for taste and color, are very similar to olive, and you're standing on
a wooden leg if you believe you still must have olive to make a nice bar of
soap.
Our Olive Oil Blend has a fatty acid profile nearly identical to olive and
works absolutely great in soap. Here we offer a blend of 90% High Oleic
Expeller Safflower and 10% Extra Virgin Olive Oil (so you can still
say that your soap contains some olive oil...) made especially for soapmaking. SAP Value (NaOH) = .134. Great Price!

A
couple of
good articles on palm oil production by Cargill® in Borneo and Indoensia.

This palm-in-a-box is great for soap. Homogenous from
top to bottom. No heating and stirring needed. This
is the same oil as "standard" palm oil , except It has
been mixed while cooling (called "votated" in the oil
trade) to eliminate separation in the final packaging. Easy to use (and
a great substitute for regular "shortening" if you like to bake). Recommended
SAP Value (Sodium Hydroxide) = .144
Can't
ship in hot weather. Local pick-up only during summer months.

Palm Oil in Pails
To facilitate hot weather shipments
of palm oil, we pack homogenized palm in pails. However, depending on the
amount of heat the pail incurs during shipping - it may suffer separation on
the way to your doorstep, in which case you are no worse off had you ordered
non-homogenized palm.

Palm Kernel Oil
(flakes)
Looks like small, white potato chips
Date vs Date Pit
Don't confuse this oil with plain palm oil. Palm Oil and Palm
Kernel Oil are two entirely different oils. Palm Oil comes from palm
fruit (the date). Palm Kernel Oil comes from the kernel (the date pit).
|
Palm Kernel Oil is a
substitute for coconut oil. Both coconut and palm kernel oils are high in
lauric and myristic acid - the components of an oil that create lather and
aid cleansing. This oil is "flaked" to save you the effort of having
to chip it apart to measure. Very easy to use.Recommended
SAP Value (Sodium Hydroxide) = .178
