| Trying to find out if I can use pomace olive oil for soap making. I've read two different aspects.
1 -- USE pomace olive oil as it's lower saponification factor means more oil for the skin 2 -- DONT USE pomace olive oil as it's lower saponification factor means it will not neutralize all of the lye (sodium hydroxide). Pomace is way cheaper, but I'm afraid to use.

| You can use any type of olive oil you like. I have made thousands of bars using Pomace Olive oil. I have bought 24 cans of 3 liter containers at a time. It supponifies the same as other olive oils. It is the cheapest olive oil, less the great scent and taste of more costly olive oils. hth |

| Just make sure to closely check the ingredients. I just bought quite a bit of pomace, and it turned out to be "a healthy mix of vegetable and olive oils". I was frusterated, if I wanted soy oil I would have paid less. |
