Hi,

I just made 4 salt bars using 50% pomace and 50% palm oil.

I used turmeric powder of cooking grade and powdered sea salt. In the future, I will try to use juice of turmeric root and see how it works. After the soap set, the turmeric lost its color.
 
I find tumeric eo holds color better but it all fades, and I actually like the color of your bars. Depending on your salt percentage your bars may not lather, With a low salt percentage they might. I tried palm a few years while trying to add longevity to my salt bars and it was unsuccessful in 100% salt bars.
 
Next time try with 90% CO n 10% castor..
Pomace n Palm with salt will be a very hard bar... I might not lather well without CO. N be harsh or drying on skin
