Hello! Palm/SLS free vegan soap bars seem hard to find - so I'm interested in making it myself.

Does anyone know soap bases that are both SLS and PALM FREE ?? Or is the only option here going to be making the soap from scratch??

I've been searching around the net, seems most are either SLS free or Palm free but not both.. :\

Thanks in advance!

I have been having the same issue, for clear melt and pour if you end up making it yourself here is a recipe I found. I have yet to make it but I did find 2 types of Vegetable Glycerin that are soy and not palm... literally only 2 I can find on the web after serious searching! I didn't really realize how much soap uses palm oils until I started (I'm new to this), it has made it a less simple process for me that is for sure!
You definitely SAVE a lot of money if you make this stuff on your own if you are planning to use a lot of it, if not I would just continue your search for a base and pay a bit extra.

Here is the recipe and links to vegetable glycerin that is derived from soy not palm oils also does not have SLS.

I'm not sure that is palm free, I may have missed something on it if so I apologize.
The Glycerin does not state if it is palm free.
