I’m sorry I cant quite figure out how to ask this and thus i cant google my answer!! It is a question that is driving me crazy.

So, sodium palmitate is the salt that results from the reaction with palm oil, right? What are the names of the other commonly used oils once transformed in to soap? I also know sodium tallowate? Is the name for tallow, but what about olive, lard, coconut, cocoa butter etc? Or can someone tell me how to google those names?

Thanks!
 
Hi Alfa,

you dont need to google it at all. just go to any lye calculator - http://soapcalc.net/calc/soapcalcwp.asp - add the oil @100%, of which you want to know the salt, as an ingredient hit "Calculate Recipe" and then "View or Print Recipe". Go to the generated recipe and hit the "INCI Names" button. There you are presented with both the Common Name as well as the INCI Name (the name you are after)

Kind regards, Thomas

You can google inci list for saponified oils. You will want saponified with sodium hydroxide. Here is are a couple:
