Dorothy,

Thank you! Great site! I will have to continue looking for the other saps, but

that's one down, at least!

Cheryl -

I'm glad I guessed right about which list the question had come from!

What other SAP's were you looking for? I don't have a life, so I don't

mind helping you look

Hi Dorothy!

Well, I wanted to know if there was a different or same sap value for 92 degree,

76 degree, fractionated and virgin coconut oils. Now that I know the sap is

different for the virgin coconut, I am convinced that the saps for the others

vary, though I may be wrong. I just want to know. When I use the standard sap

for 76 degree and also for 92 degree, the soap quality is quite drying for the

soap containing the 92 degree coconut, even if superfatted beyond 7%. I don't

like it, and I figure it is due to differing sap values. What I don't

understand, though, is why the PH of the soap is WNL. Anyway, I figured I'd

start with the saps and see what I can experiment with.

So....glad if you can help me find out what the matter is. Thanks!

Cheryl, I'm not Dorothy but the easiest way to find out is from your

supplier. If your supplier doesn't know then call Mike Lawson from Columbus

Foods and tell him that I said to call him. He will tell you what the sap

values are, and if you are real nice to him he will also tell you what great

bargains he has in oils this month:-) BTW his number is or

you could check out their web site where I think the sap values are listed

Hi Dorothy, thanks for the link Quite a few of the odd-sounding oils they

list are actually familiar ones under alternative or unfamiliar names, for

example 'theobroma' is just cocoa butter by another name, 'olium olivate'

is plain old olive oil, 'arachis' is peanut oil which also sometimes

called groundnut oil.

> Anyone heard of Beef Hoof Oil????

Yes, it's sometimes called Neat's Foot Oil. Chambers dictionary gives

" Neat: (archaic) an ox, cow, bull etc " . It's a thick, sticky, rather

smelly oil and I can't imagine putting it into soap.

Yes, I was puzzled by that too. I wonder where they collected their SAP

values from? Never heard of either a Gigely tree or a Ginely tree though.
