    Palm-Free Handmade Soap Recipes

    Great soap recipes that don’t use palm oil

    Palm oil brings some great qualities to cold or hot process handmade soap, like hardness and
    conditioning. But if you want to avoid using palm oil, you have lots of options.

    Chemically, the closest things to palm oil is lard and tallow. If you substitute either of these for the palm
    in your recipe, you’ll get a very similar bar of soap. (Don’t forget to recalculate the sodium hydroxide
    needed!) But if animal fats aren’t your thing, you can still make a great soap using all vegetable oils or
    butters. Here are some of our favorite soap recipes that don’t use palm oil or animal fats.

    Shortening Recipe
    David Critchfield, owner of Mission Peak Soap and former teacher at The Nova Studio, likes this
    recipe because it uses easy to find and inexpensive ingredients.
    For a 4 pound batch of soap made at 5% superfat/lye discount:
    40% Soybean Shortening (100% soybean or cottonseed oil blend): 25.6 ounces
    30% Olive or other high-oleic oil: 19.2 ounces
    28% 92 Degree Coconut: 17.92 ounces
    2% Castor Oil: 1.28 ounces
    Sodium Hydroxide: 9.06 ounces
    Distilled water: 21 ounces

    Buttery Recipe
    This is a favorite recipe of Jen Grimes, soapmaking teacher at The Nova Studio. It uses some
    luxurious butters and oils that are oh, so worth!

    For a 4 pound batch of soap made at 5% superfat/lye discount:


    41% Olive Oil: 26 oz
    25% Coconut Oil: 16 oz
    25% Mango Butter: 16 oz
    6% Avocado Oil: 4 oz
    3% Shea Butter: 2 oz
    Sodium Hydroxide: 8.95 ounces
    Distilled water: 21 ounces

    “Bring On The Olive” Recipe


    This recipe is adapted from a recipe that appears in Essentially Soap by Robert McDaniel. Soap
    with this much olive oil will need a longer cure time (at least 8 weeks). But once it’s cured, it’s a
    wonderfully firm and conditioning bar.

    For a 4 pound batch of soap made at 5% superfat/lye discount:


    77% Olive Oil: 49.1 oz
    22% Coconut Oil: 14.1 oz
    1% Jojoba oil: 0.8 oz
    Sodium Hydroxide: 8.82 ounces
    Distilled water: 21 ounces

    Remember: Always double check any soap recipe use a lye calculator like the one at
    SoapCalc.net or thesage.com. Anybody can make a mistake with a recipe, even us!
