It is a good substitute for tallow in all-vegetable soaps. The quality of Palm oil is far superior to other vegetable oils that are filler oils. Palm oil is universal and used in many expensive luxury soaps. Use it as a Base oil at 20 - 30% of your oil portion of your recipe.  Iodine value 43-57Avocado Butter (1 pound included) INCI: Hydrogenated Avocado Oil From the supplier: Avocado Butter is obtained from the fruit of the Avocado tree (Persea Gratissima) which grows in sub-tropical regions of the world. The butter is created from the Avocado fruit oil through a unique hydrogenation process which yields a soft, greenish butter with mild odor and excellent melting properties which is suitable for skin care. May be used in all types of soap and toiletries to improved moisturization and soften rough, dry skin.  In soap, this will help with a stable lather and offers conditioning properties as well.
