Coconut wax - what experience do you have of it in CP and what is it’s SAP value?

[ShonaR]

I am experimenting with wax in my cp soap because I have decided to try and stop using palm (RSPO) and want to retain longevity/hardness and I like the texture wax creates. I have used beeswax which I love and soy wax,( also nice) but I wondered if anyone had used coconut wax, it isn’t in any soap calcs and I’d like to experiment with it, how can I find out the SAP value?
thanks!

I think it’s a type of hydrogenated coconut oil, like the 92Degree coconut oil, but melts at a higher temperature. That’s just a guess, but if it is, and it’s fully hydrogenated instead of partially hydrogenated, the SAP would be the same.

thanks for your reply! I’ve added a photo of it below. It sounds like a sort of form of coconut harvested from remenants of coconut oil so youmay well be right! I’d like to try it but still having to guess the SAP value.

The SAP should be the same as the coconut oil, and the fractionated coconut oil, if that’s actually what it is. Sorry, I don’t know more!
